Gee... And I just spent a bunch of time working on this this!


Well, I do have a couple suggestions though.

1) Can we install the binary as /usr/local/libexec/httpd?

2) Currently DocumentRoot is $PREFIX/www while ServerRoot
   is $PREFIX/www/server.  This is a Bad Thing since it
   makes all the server configuration files freely available
   to anybody poking around with a WWW browser.

   I would recommend making ServerRoot $PREFIX/www and
   DocumentRoot $PREFIX/www/data (or htdocs, or documents, or
   whatever).

3) Which brings up another point.  httpd.conf, access.conf and srm.conf 
   all need to be altered in the event of $PREFIX being something other than 
   /usr/local.  Its easy enough to do when installing a port, but I'm not
   aware of the mechanism used for packages...

   Related, While mucking around with those file, its pretty easy to insert a
   correct hostname for ServerAdmin instead of "localhost".
