Just to clarify some, mod_ssl is part of apache 2 by default, you just
turn it on with configure/compile options <read the docs!> while for
apache 1.3.x it is an addon package requiring a few other steps in the
configure/compile process and additional packages to link with.

The most any of us can do is sign on as it's accomplice.  Instead
of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet.
That would mean that security is out of the question.  The words
"make" and "stay" become inappropriate.  My love for you has no
strings attached.  I love you for free...
