+Upgrading an Existing Apache Environment
+----------------------------------------
+
+Between releases of Apache, there are several files that are likely
+to get changed (aside from the source, of course). These include:
+
+ src/Makefile.tmpl
+ src/Configuration.tmpl
+ src/Configure
+ conf/*.conf-dist
+ conf/mime.types
+
+It's recommended that you unpack a new Apache version distribution
+into a different directory than the existing one, and check these
+files against the ones you already have for new or changed directives.
+It's almost certain that the Configure, Configuration.tmpl, and
+Makefile.tmpl files are going to change, so pay particular attention
+to merging your existing Configuration settings with the ones in
+the Configuration.tmpl file to make a new Configuration file in the
+new Apache src directory. Then follow the steps for a new
+installation to build and test the new server before replacing
+the existing Apache directory tree with the one from the new
+distribution.

It would make sense to reference htdocs/manual/upgrading_to_1_3.html.
