Re: [PATCH: apxs: allow for override of CFG_* values]

Oh man, this HTML email of yours is painful.  But yes, this looks like a
useful feature.  

> <fontfamily><param>Helvetica</param>  I ran into a problem using apxs while trying to build mod_dav into a distribution.  Basically, apxs knows that the configuration files are over yonder and the module go over here, etc., but these paths are assuming that you are installing onto your local system.  So "apxs -i ..." ends up editing my machines config and installing nicely onto my machine, when I'm just hoping to create a separate root that I can package into a tarball or something.

In my case I want, for example, </fontfamily><fixed><fontfamily><param>Courier</param>SYSCONFDIR="$(DSTROOT)`apxs -q SYSCONFDIR`"</fontfamily></fixed><fontfamily><param>Helvetica</param>.
