What if the user wants other features besides SSL? Suggestion: Test for a library that will only exist if apache2 has been installed with WITH_SSL_MODULES=yes and if that library is missing then have your port refuse to build with a message that apache2 must be built with WITH_SSL_MODULES=yes. If you are using autotools (automake/autoconf) you can place this sort of a test in configure.ac. -Mike
