Good point.

I understand this is a possibility but I have no personal experience of
doing so (apart from building Apache with DSO support so that modules
can be activated as required).

It may be necessary that the prebuilt apache have DSO support (and 
IIRC correctly this is an apache build option).

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
