Thanks for the good (christmassy) news. 

But installing 3.0-dev revision 76 and adding in httpd.conf 

 LoadFile    /usr/lib/libxml2.so
 LoadModule  proxy_html_module    modules/mod_proxy_html.so
 Include     conf/proxy_html.conf

while checking the apache syntax I got the following error

 $ /usr/local/www/httpd2.2.3/bin/apachectl  configtest
 Syntax error on line 22 of /usr/local/www/httpd2.2.3/conf/proxy_html.conf:
 Invalid command 'ProxyHTMLLink', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module 
 not included in the server configuration

Uncommenting the above "Include" I found via 

 $ /usr/local/www/httpd2.2.3/bin/apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES 

the line

 proxy_html_module (shared)

so the corresponding module seems to be loaded correctly.  

Looking in the source code I have the impression that the "proxyHTMLLink"
declaration lines contains a small typo and must be replaced by 
"proxyHTMLLinks". At least the configuration check is thereafter ok.

Greetings

Jens

Oops!  Thanks for that.  Comes of working too late into the night to
tie up loose ends.  I knew I should've left announcing it 'til today.
