>Description:
Basically, it's something that I consider to be a bug. If --compat is
included on the ./configure command line, then any --prefix is overridden,
forcing the install directory to /usr/local/apache.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just run './configure --prefix /whatever --compat' and you'll see in the
Makefile that it's going to put it in /usr/local/apache anyways.
>Fix:
I think the problem is on line 359.. prefix='/usr/local/apache'. I can fix
it by commenting it out
