I don't have anything like that set

Yes indeed, I upgraded the main server yesterday and it built fine
except for having to turn 'mod_ssl' off as it kept dying in the ssl
code. I don't need ssl anyway.
However, today an update (cvsup) shows that that option has been
removed entirely, I have just searched the Makefile to confirm it,
also mentioned in UPDATING.
So now apache HAS to use devel/apr1 but apr1 will not compile with no
real clue as to why not.
I have just finished upgrading perl to 5.10.1, with a forced
recompile of everything that depends on it, and of course
apache22/apr still fails.
sigh.
