Writing Apache 2 Modules

First of all, I'll take any and all pointers to documentation on this.

Second, I am trying to setup
  autoconf/automake/CVS build environment

in my configure.ac
  dnl Compile time options
AC_ARG_WITH(
            apxs,
            [AC_HELP_STRING([--with-apxs     path to apxs binary])],
            [
             if test -x $withval; then
                APXS=$withval
                AC_SUBST($APXS)
                AC_MSG_RESULT([Using apxs....`$APXS`])
             else
                AC_MSG_ERROR([Can't find a usable apxs])
             fi
            ],
            [AC_MSG_ERROR([Can't find a usable apxs])]
           )

I have yet to find a module that actually does this. I even scoured mod_php4.  
mod_perl2 the one I would know best doesn't help since it uses perl 
Makefile.PL.  I've seen lots of --with-apache=DIR, but doesn't help me very 
much.

Thanks a bunch that is unbelievably helpful.

FYI: now I got side tracked and have to update the FreeBSD ports of 
Subversion. :)

Thanks again

Try looking at the subversion code.  It uses APXS and has a fairly 
intelligent set of macros to do it.  It also looks for and uses 
apr-config and apu-config.  It's pretty cool.

Good luck.  I can also send you the appropriate m4 files if you are 
interested.
