Yes.

Yeah; this whole thread is premised on working around the
problem without an Apache software change.  It's a reasonable
premise (IMO) -- if you've got a custom compilation and a lot
of modules, that can end up being a lot of software.  I build
a PHP4+SSL+Apache+IMAP+etc. source tree at one point, and it
ended up being ~1.2 million lines of code, all told, that had
to be made to work together.  If you had "just built it", then
it would be very hard to update just one component without
repeating the whole process.  My advice?  Use CVS.
