patch for apache which fixes the problem with content negotiation available

["James A. Treacy" <treacy@debian.org>]

The problem with apache has been fixed by Darren Benham and myself.

The patch can be retrieved from http://www.debian.org/~treacy/mod_negotiation.diff
but is replicated below since it is so small.
If you trust a precompiled module, you can simply grab
http://www.debian.org/~treacy/mod_negotiation.so
and use it to replace the current version in /usr/lib/apache/1.3/
Simply restart apache when done.

The following patch fixes a problem with content negotiation in apache.
The problem is that clients that don't send an Accept-Language: header
can receive the wrong language.

As is apparent from the patch, the file mod_negotiation.c needs one line
modified. This file can be found in apache-1.3.3/src/modules/standard/

The patch has been sent to apache and will hopefully make it into the
next release.
