It's certainly something that I've been wanting to divert time and
energy to as well.  I know I've been somewhat less than optimal on the
subject in the past -- hopefully once GNOME 1.4 is out the door, I'll
be a little less constrained for that part of my time that goes to FreeBSD.

Certainly, the current view is to have an EAPI-enabled (+ipv6 patches)
www/apache13 (so that we don't have issues with www/apache20 when it turns
up), with mod_ssl becoming just that part of it, and the other
apache* ports being handed over to the Mir control center.

Part of this will also be installing a sandbox UID/GID for it to run
under.. that may need co-ordination with other webservers (eg: zope)
to ensure that other ports that can run under both systems DTRT
regardless of which is available.

Along with the obligatory ${PORTSDIR}/Mk/bsd.www.mk with all the
tunables in one place.
