more sticky preferences issues...
ok, here's my latest problem...
given a 3rd party module installation
$ perl Makefile.PL -apxs /foo/bin/apxs
two issues arrive
1) $HOME/.apache-test is created when the tests are run, not when the module
is installed. which means that even without any actual installs
2) -apxs is subsequently ignored for all but the very first time I run
t/TEST, making it impossible to test against multiple apache/mod_perl installs.
I know lots of work went into this already, but might it be worth the time
to back it all out and start with a spec first? something that the few of
us that are interested can tweak until we thing we have all the bases covered?

This is the correct behavior. Does it cause a problem to you? 'make install'
has nothing to do with custom configuration unless it's an A-T or mp2 module
install.

That should now work.

I'm on it.

which means that even without any actually installs [2]

if you think you can get to it within the next week or two, I'm fine to
leave it as is. if you'd rather back it out and revisit it as a whole after
first tossing around a spec, I'm fine with that too. really, it's whatever
you want to do - I was just offering suggestions and trying log the kinds of
things I usually use A-T for that aren't working quite right.

I think because we test only for httpd's setting. that must be the reason. Try
passing -httpd instead for now.

Sure, that's why I didn't want to commit it in first place. I know I've
promised to work on fixes but didn't get to it. So unless you can wait a bit
more, I'm fine with reverting.
