Heh...all the patches apply to different directories, that makes them
unmanageable with our current ports system (AFAIK), even the handbook
suggest the should with the other patches. You are free to prove me wrong
:-).

The new submitted port only adds three diffs, and they don't seem so big.
OTOH Brian Waters is maintaining a fully prepatched version in a single
tarball, when he ports his version (he will) w3c-httpd can be nuked.
Although his version is better, I don't want to maintain (or port) his
version because it's based on version 3.0, while our version is 3.0A.

feeb ??? ;-)...The first version of the diffs were really big, it's
probably more confortable to use have a new PR. It's done away
