[users@httpd] Why is FilesMatch preferred?

Hi,

The docs[1] say that <FilesMatch> is preferred over <Files> for Apache 1.3
and newer. Why? What happens if I don't? Is there a performance difference?
Security implications?

[1] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#files


Thanks in advance,

<FilesMatch> if preferred over <Files ~> (the regex form of <Files>).
Ordinary <Files> sections are still fine, and in fact will be faster than
<FilesMatch> (or <Files ~>).  Why is is <Files ~> deprecated?  Just
because <FilesMatch> is clearer and there is no reason to mix two
different syntaxes.

[users@httpd] APACHE 1.3.27 -> mod_auth_mysql.c

Anyone ever compiled this module on OS X?

Keep getting errors. I followed two different sets of install 
instructions, but not meant for OS X.
