It seems we should have the framework process the bin/envvars (in the normal path, or /etc/apache2 in this case)... but that should be based on retrieving the pathname of bin/envvars from apxs, and apxs doesn't have this info (it also does not have two distinct entitites for the progname and config file name, requiring that both be overridden if the progname is changed.) Because of a small delta between fedora's openssl x509 and my stock openssl build (and fedora's is found first on the path)... processing bin/envvars without loading it into the current console session would be a big win for me! I guess we aught to add both the envvars and distinct conffile defaults to the apxs utility, and then we can play catch-up in Apache::Test. Not sure what the stop-gap would be for Ubuntu short-term. WDYT?
