MS Frontpage extensions will work on FreeBSD/AMD64, with either apache
1.3, or apache 2.x.

The FP ext require compat4x, and compat5x.

To simplify the install of the MS Frontpage Extensions, use theses
retired ports from the ports CVS repository:

www/frontpage
www/mod_frontpage-rtr
www/mod_frontpage2-rtr

You'll need to use a date before 2006.12.12.16.38.12 which is when
they were retired.
