I just rolled out mod_php-4.3.11-r1 containing security fixes of 4.3.11, btw.

you don't need to hack around with the apr APIs. when apache serves fine all 
your needs, than apr is most probably fine, too :)

the apache ebuild just ensures that the /var/www/ directory exists. It does 
*not* install anything at all in there.

hmm... *thinking*

gentoo-webroot-default manages default icons and error pages. Although, it 
manages the gentoo default virtual-host to be served by a gentoo webserver 
(here: apache ;)
You can disable the virtual-host management by using no-vhost useflag, right.
But wether it shall be called no-htdocs or htdocs is a semi-hot discussion 
recently somewhere on the gentoo bug heap. I remember that there's been a 
missinging feature related to useflags that prevents us from handling it 
differently. So, for now, we must shout laud enough, so that everone looks at 
what he's upgrading before he's doing so blindly (and accidently overwriting 
some stuff he hasn't a backup for).
