+ Note: To reduce the pollution of shared installation locations
+ (like /usr/local/ or /etc) with Apache files to a minimum the
+ string ``/apache'' is automatically appended to 'libexecdir',
+ 'sysconfdir', 'datadir', 'localstatedir' and 'includedir' if
+ (and only if) the following points apply for each path
+ individually:
+
+ 1. the path doesn't already contain the word ``apache''
+ 2. the path was not directly customized by the user
+
+ Keep in mind that per default these paths are derived from
+ 'prefix' and 'exec-prefix', so usually its only a matter
+ whether these paths contain ``apache'' or not. Although the
+ defaults were defined with experience in mind you always
should
+ make sure the paths fit your situation by checking the finally
+ chosen paths via the --layout option.
+
Use the --compat option to install Apache into a installation tree which
has a similar layout than the one used with Apache 1.2.
