Those are all built as DLLs, so a LoadModule must be added to make them
active.

Hmm. I thought they were... I don't see LoadModule lines for many of the
modules in httpd-win.conf.

Personally, if somebody builds a binary with everything built in, then I'd
say they should all be used. That's why they were built :-)
