Or else we can try to include Apache/mod_perl 2 support?

1.3.x, but it also comes with Perl v5.6.1 which mod_perl is built
on.  As we're targeting v5.8, recompiling Perl is a must.  Which
in turn means rebuilding Apache is desirable...  And last time I
looked, recompiling Apache was difficult if you wanted to
preserve support for Apple's mod's.

But seeing as you can use HTTP::Daemon to run a minimalistic web
server, you can get away without it.
