Quite so. I eventually figured that out. But by then had been up for far
too long, and decided to get some sleep, and reply in the morning. Good
morning. :)

I would have to assert that in my case, your assertions are also a bit
moot. Would make deinstall apache2.0 && make install apache2.2 &&
make install php5 -DWITH_CGI=TRUE -DWITH_CLI=true -DWITH_APACHE=true
accomplish a successful build? In fact, no. As the real problem at
hand, is getting php5 to build the apache module (libphp5.so). :)

On the other hand. Assuming a successfully built apache module;
How large is the difference between the same modules in
1.2 vs 2.0 vs 2.2?
How large is the difference in apache' reaction to calls made to
apache, where these modules are involved?
Does Apache 2.2 offer the -DWITH_MPM=threadpool? I couldn't find it.

Thank you for your informative, and thoughtful reply.
