I was under the impression that the Apache on OpenBSD was a vanilla
Apache. Also a --with-layout=OpenBSD should install all the necessary
bits in the right place as long as the Apache team have done a decent

Hmmm.. nice idea.. bury them up to their knees in mud, wrap them round with stiff wire, twist them into contorted shapes, chop bits off them at regular intervals, leave them where they are for forty years or so with minimal feeding, sell them for vast amounts of money.. there must be a snag in this somewhere.. why can't I see it?
