configure option --enable-option-checking warns about things it does know (httpd-2.2.X)

[Michael <ai...@felt.demon.nl>]

Just thought I would mention option-checking in httpd-2.2.X is borked.

Fortunately, it just warns :)

A small subset of the warnings:

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-z, --enable-layout, 
--with-apr, --with-apr-util, --with-mpm, --enable-ssl, --enable-proxy, 
--enable-mods-shared

Regards,

Michael

p.s. I have not been following the maillist for quite a while - so if 
this is already known, please ignore.

Thanks for the report Michael.

The 2.2.x series is now retired and end-of-life.

The warnings are no-ops... they are inherited to child ./configure bits so
the basic httpd-2.x/configure may holler about options only applicable to
the bundled packages, and the bundled packages may holler about options
only applicable to httpd.

We have unbundled the dependencies from httpd 2.4, apr and apr-util 1.6,
so expat -> pcre -> zlib -> apr -> apr-util -> httpd must be build
independently,
and this side-effect of passing around unrecognized configure flags is moot.
