I'm not sure about this one. The depend.apache eclass is junk and we
should be encouraging people to move away from it (bug 616612):
* If you want to depend on apache, depend on apache.
* If you need paths like APACHE_MODULESDIR, the "apxs" tool is now
in PATH so you can get it from $(apxs -q libexecdir)
* If you need paths like APACHE_MODULES_CONFDIR, the eclass doesn't
work anyway. You can hard-code those paths yourself (relative to
apxs -q sysconfdir), or if anyone feels up to the task, they could
write a greatly simplified apache-paths.eclass that provides these
paths via functions that are to be called outside of global scope.
If people are using anything in depend.apache, I think a warning is
appropriate. Making a promise that apache-module (which is not junk)
provides depend.apache will moreover make it harder to disentangle them
in the future if anyone decides to fix things.
