11 The only other thing I can think of would be to delete and re-type the
12 "-D" line in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and the <IfDefine> line in the apache
13 config. Maybe there's a non-printing space or something else evil in there.

15 The unstable apache-2.4 lets you "Define" variables within the config
16 files and not just on the command-line. If this is important, that might
17 get you up and running at the expense of satisfying your curiosity. Some
18 day we might replace all the -D stuff with "Define" anyway
