This probably isn't the greatest idea... though you could probably
accomplish it by having each user install apache in ~/bin. You'd have to
have everyone running on a different port > 1024 though. So each person's
web space would have to be accessed via http://host.mydomain.com:<port
number>.

This seems REALLY conterproductive though. I've yet to see a situation
where everyone has to have a their own set of apache settings. Just
compile everything you could possibly need into apache. That doesn't mean
everyone has to use that feature. 

If you're worried about apache crashing, just add everyone to a group
which has execute access in your apache/bin directory. I've seen apache
run under some pretty incredible loads though, I don't quite see why you
think it would crash so often.

Best of luck on your project though,
