Yep, replying to a six-week-old email.   In case there are any other  
newbie module devs out there like me, the above looks like a very  
attractive option.  I'd been using Josh Rotenberg's mod_skeleton but  
it suddenly flatly refused to compile anything on a recent Debian ("I  
didn't change anything", the luser said), and I was kind of helpless  
because the Makefiles it generates and the process by which it gets  
them are far, *far* too twisted for anyone not entirely immersed in  
libtool & httpd culture to have any hope of understanding them.

Now, the apxs-generated skeleton didn't quite fit; I have a src/  
subdirectory and two or three extra .c files... but it took like 3  
minutes looking at the reasonably-straightforward Makefile and  
various pieces of *.mk that get included in to fix that.
