As the original creator of the Apache13-fp port, it is not currently
possible to seperate the mod_frontpage module from the Apache Server.  The
reason for this is the mod_frontpage requires certain patches be applied to
the Apache Server before it gets compiled.

Mod_SSL is also in the same situation as it requires the EAPI patches to be
applied to the Apache Server.

It is possible to come up with a one Apache Server solution, but it will
require that the FrontPage patches (patch-f?), EAPI patches, etc be applied
and compiled with the Apache port.

Then Apache Module ports for mod_fronpage, mod_ssl can be created which
compiles these modules as DSO.

Also, the httpd.conf needs a way for adding new DSO to it.

HINT: NetBSD ports tree is already doing this for the mod_ssl, php* ports.
