Directive SSLCACertificatePath mentions a Makefile for creating hash links that I cannot find

           Summary: Directive SSLCACertificatePath mentions a Makefile for
                    creating hash links that I cannot find

           Version: 2.0.49
          Platform: Sun

        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_ssl

The documentation for SSLCertificatePath mentions a Makefile that one should use
to create the symbolic links for the certificate files in the directory, e.g.
'ssl.crt'. I cannot find such a Makefile in the Apache Httpd 2.0.49 distribution
(probably missing from previous versions too), neither in the build directory,
nor in the install directory. The makefile found in 'modules/ssl' doesn't make
seem to be the one either, and there is non in the 'certs' directory of the
build tree. Thus IMHO, neither the description of SSLCACertificatePath in the
manual, nor the explanation of the directive in 'ssl[-std].conf' file seem to
reflect the reality of today.

--- from the manual ---
The files in this directory have to be PEM-encoded and are accessed through hash
 filenames. So usually you can't just place the Certificate files there: you
also have to create symbolic links named hash-value.N. And you should always
make sure this directory contains the appropriate symbolic links. Use the
Makefile which comes with mod_ssl to accomplish this task.
-----------------------

Where can I find that makefile or a tool for creating those symbolic links?
Shouldn't such a tool be installed in 'bin/' together with 'httpd' and 'apachectrl'?
