As iptotal should work with other web-servers supporting CGI, I chose
to remove the automatic linking and reloading of apache's
configuration.
I find it "cleaner" to start the iptotal daemon, and let the user
enable the cgi samples that are shipped within the package, and reload
his webserver. What do you think about that?

Kind regards,
