===================================================================
Apache
Version 1.3 (and up)
What is it?
-----------
Apache is an HTTP server designed as a plug-in replacement for
the NCSA server version 1.3 (or 1.4). It fixes numerous bugs in
the NCSA server and includes many frequently requested new
features, and has an API which allows it to be extended to meet
users' needs more easily.
The Latest Version
------------------
Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP
server project page under http://httpd.apache.org/.
Documentation
-------------
The documentation available as of the date of this release is
also included, in HTML format, in the htdocs/manual/ directory.
For the most up-to-date documentation can be found on
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/.
Installation
------------
Apache 2.0 uses autoconf for configuration and installation. To use
Apache's autoconf script, you will need libtool 1.3.3 or higher, and
autoconf 2.13 or newer.
To configure Apache 2.0 run the following commands.
./buildconf
./configure [autoconf arguments] [apache arguments]
make
make install
The buildconf script is very important. Just running autoconf will not
leave the directory tree in a usable state.
Licensing
---------
Please see the file called LICENSE.

a build environment.

End users should not need libtool, IIRC. If they do, then we did something
wrong.
