greetings,
hey all,

i was wondering if there was need of more comments in the 
code, i mean, i dont mind doing it, 

the reason to this is:
new people to the httpd-2.0 source tree will get easily 
confused on where to debug the code,

like me, i got confused when the bit of sed came in the 
buildconf scripts.

its only a suggestion

I just added a bunch of sed mumbo-jumbo, so I'm definately at fault here.
The problem is how to comment a shell snippet that is part of a makefile
target. It gets more confusing when you want to comment a sed program
that is part of a shell script part of a makefile -- ugh! Ideas on how
to place comments in this would be appreciated.
