I'm contemplating ITP-ing apache 2.

It seems that practically every distribution has it's own favourite way to lay out directories of apache. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to deal with this?

[...Gerrit's Cygwin Apache Layout...]


I wonder if apache is one of those FEW packages that should be placed in its own /opt/apache2/ heirarchy (perhaps with localstatedir=/opt/apache2/var as a symlink to /var/ -- NOT /usr/var)

Or would that make building the various addon modules too difficult?

Besides having a main DLL in /opt/apache2/bin which needs to be in the global Windows PATH setting if running as a service there should be no issues with using /opt.
