That is of course resolved by LoadFile /lib/libz.so, which is what I

I strongly disagree. Forcing the user to manually track all of the library
dependencies is insane. If someone wants to shoot themselves in the foot,
fine - you can do it. But, we shouldn't force everyone to fit your
preferred model because you want a few less libraries.
Again, there are substantial libtool issues that come into play that limit
what we can realistically do.
SSL seems to be the worst culprit. httpd gets linked against tons
of stuff so that I cannot copy the binary to a non-ssl enabled host.
Indeed. That principle applies equally to SQL client libs for DBD,
to DBM libs, and somewhat even to things like expat.
Expat is brought in by apr-util, so you'd have to add dynamic loading of
expat to apr-util. In my opinion, it's a maze of twisty passages that
isn't worth the payoff. -- justin
