Hmm. Maybe rather than using apxs, we can drop a small .conf fragment into
an Apache ".conf dir" ? It seems many distributions are setting those up
nowadays.

Hmm. Doesn't seem they are doing that... ah well. Would have been really
nice. That /dev/null scares me.

Cheers,

Oh. Sorry, I missed that.

Well, you could go all the way, and filter out everything that does 
*not* indicate an error. :-)

It doesn't really matter to me except that it looks messy.

Let me know if there is a better way.

Well, it isn't really end-user stuff at all. It's package maintainer 
stuff. End users will typically install a binary package, and won't see 
it. Those who want to install from source, definitely should see it. So 
I'd just drop the pipe to null here.

I normally don't use "> /dev/null" but the alternative is to output a 
whole bunch of "gobbledygook" that the end-user probably won't care about.  
I can take that out if you would rather they see it all.  It still should 
abort cleanly if apxs returns non-zero with an error.  If there is a 
better way, I'm all ears. :-)

Let me know.
