Actually my description is a bit inaccurate, it is only a clone of the
Apache module that comes with the Microsoft Frontpage server
extensions.  The rest of the MFSE are still required, and they are of
course non-free.

Also, I should note that there are some security issues with 1.5.1 and
that I will either be backporting some fixes from the Mandrake fork of
the software, or packaging that fork instead.
