That's exactly what I meant when proposed a FreeBSD layout for Apache.
This should just remove at least two patches for each of the Apache,
Apache-mod_ssl, Apache-php ports.
Those who use another layouts for their Apache installations would just
change port's Makefile a bit, adding --with-layout=<other> and/or
--prefix=<other>. No need to modify patch-?? files.

I'm pretty sure there is a minority of such people
amongst all ports users. Most FreeBSD users prefer not to modify ports.

Never wanted to start such a flame, folks. Very sorry :-)
