No I didn't, but I can think of some good arguments for putting it 
there.

man hier says:

              libexec/  system daemons & system utilities (executed by other
                        programs)

...

              sbin/     system daemons & system utilities (executed by users)

so it really depends on whether you view it as something that users use 
on their own, or something that is started at boot (or via inetd) that users 
can use via their ~/public_html directories.  

Anybody with strong feelings either way?  Regardless, I definately think 
that /usr/local/www/httpd is *not* the place for it.
