Configuration...

[David Reid <dr...@jetnet.co.uk>]

OK, so this isn't important just yet, but being prepared is always a good
thing :)

How are we going to handle configuration for A2 once we go to beta?  I ask
as at present for 1.3 we have a main configure script in the apache-1.3.x
directory and this is what users know and use.  Do we do the same for the
betas/releases of A2?  The present system is acceptable for developers but
not for users and so will need improving...

Whatever we decide to do, can I humbly suggest that we do it soon and roll
another alpha with the new mechanism in place before we think about rolling
a beta?  Users will be expecting a lot and we need to be careful to
deliver...

Just a few more random thoughts...

The original plan had been to move the autoconf stuff to the apache-2.0
directory, and leave buildconf where it is.
