Hi Joshua, It's been since the 2.0 days I had a peak at Apache GUI... I personally did not like it at all. I found it quicker to just open the config file in notepad++
In the end I ended up writing my own tools like http://code.google.com/p/vhm-mysql/ (outdate and honestly not good) I replaced it with a command-line perl script (not release, to specific). >From my experience it's that parsing and rewriting the httpd.conf does not work well and is difficult to turn into a GUI. I gave up looking for a generic tool long ago. I found it easier to use a db back-end and write a .net app/perl script to generated the needed configuration based on that. So if you are looking for generate GUI... you are probably out of luck. I hope this was at least somewhat helpful.
