apxs does not handle binary dists installed at non-default locations

           Summary: apxs does not handle binary dists installed at non-
                    default locations
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.26
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jessh@ptc.com


apxs does not handle binary distributables installed at non-default locations.  
Specifically, apxs complains that there is no DSO support available when the 
real issue is that the apxs command used to check for DSO support (which is 
essentially "if (not grep(/mod_so/, httpd -l")) does not provide httpd with 
appropriate -d and -R arguments.

Without this fix, binary distributables give every appearance of having 
unusable apxs support!

For all Apache binary distributables that I build, I patch apxs.pl before 
building, but this is ridiculous -- this should simply be fixed in the normal 
source tree.
