Re: [u, sers@httpd] man pages helper utilities (Apache Users)

Nice to know mine is not a solitary school of thought.

I think I there is a simple resolution.

A Note next to the source bundle download,

This bunde has been put together for use by individual developers,

vendors , distributors.

Apache HTTPD is by nature modular , flexible product.

We have made most of modular nature of Apache, the users

compile and include libaries/plugins on an as needed basis.

Disk space can be expensive hhhmm..
