thanks for saving me the trouble of saying that :-)



Also, just about everyone DOES use /usr/lib/cern-httpd, or
/usr/local/lib/cern-httpd.  I don't use apache (yet - i will when i find
another proxy cache to replace cern) but i guess that it should also use
/usr/lib/apache-httpd

following the same structure in /var is a natural, self-evident
extension.

actually, maybe it should be generalised to: /usr/lib/httpd/{cern,apache}
etc.  I think someone might have suggested something like this a few
messages back...
