I asked about the net-webapp category before but everyone was busy and I
didn't hear anything.  I am completely for this.

In response to Robin's breakdown of how webapps are to be installed, this
is exactly what my eclass does.  If you have a chance, can you please take
a look at:

<http://68.6.36.243:81/chora/co.php/portage/eclass/apache-webapp.eclass?r=1
..4>

The man page is here:

<http://68.6.36.243:81/chora/co.php/portage/eclass/apache-webapp.5.txt?r=1.

And some example ebuilds are here:

<http://68.6.36.243:81/chora/co.php/portage/net-www/horde/horde-2.2.3.ebuil
d?r=1.1>
<http://68.6.36.243:81/chora/co.php/portage/net-www/horde-imp/horde-imp-3.2
..1.ebuild?r=1.1>

Both of these ebuild generate extra parameters for their individual apache
configuration blocks which look like this:

  php_flag safe_mode off
  php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
  php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off
  php_flag register_globals off
  php_flag file_uploads on
  php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
  php_value include_path /usr/lib/horde-pear
