I'm resigned to stepping on toes and raising a big stink. The current system for building Apache from ports sucks hard and if the current maintainers aren't willing to resolve the issues then they need to take a step back and ask themselves why they are 'maintainers'. Are you willing to maintain and test a 'mod_fp' port? I've got Apache, mod_ssl and mod_php[34] mostly sorted out and was going to attack mod_fp once I managed to atain sufficient courage. If you are in a position where you can test a 'mod_fp' port it would help me out quite a bit. Thanks. -- | Matthew N.
