10 Yeah, that's the kinds of differences of opinion that are in the bug
11 report, which is part of what makes this a more difficult ebuild to
12 write. Things like libraries are really easy because it's just a
13 configure make make install, but here you have a lot of configuration
14 files and differences of opinion. I was thinking that a USE variable
15 could be in order here, to support suid and a separate apache instance.
16 Perhaps the variable could be suid?
