I just ran apacheconfig for the first time since installation.  It 
didn't remove my setenvif_module, although it did comment out the php 
modules and a bunch of others, consequently disabling a few of my web 
sites.  It does ask you if you want to save the configuration though, 
so I guess you just have to watch closely... I'm running Apache 1.3.12-1.
