>Description:

	The apache port's install target overwrites the existing 
	local config files in /usr/local/etc/apache.

	I forgot this one and will have to get my config files back 
	from tape now ;-) Bad luck ;-)

	Best would be to fix this one now, since there will be
	many other people who only want to update the WWW server 
	binary, without nuking the local configuration ;-)

>How-To-Repeat:

	Save you local config files first
	cd /usr/local/etc/apache
	mkdir .save
	cp access.conf httpd.conf mime.types srm.conf .save
	cd /usr/ports/www/apache
	make all install
	ls -l /usr/local/etc/apache
	These new files overwrite your local configuration.
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  2127 Jun  7 12:54 access.conf
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  6567 Jun  7 12:54 httpd.conf
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  2394 Jun  7 12:54 mime.types
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  6764 Jun  7 12:54 srm.conf

>Fix:

	Modify the ports install target, so that the new config
	files will be for example installed as:

	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  2127 Jun  7 12:54 access.conf-dist
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  6567 Jun  7 12:54 httpd.conf-dist
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  2394 Jun  7 12:54 mime.types-dist
	-rw-r--r--  1 bin   bin  6764 Jun  7 12:54 srm.conf-dist

	The squid port comes to my mind, who does it this way.
