Admirable goal, but may I suggest an alternative way to look at it.
Instead of
working with an existing apache (which may or may not have mod_perl,
mod_* or
may have config directives which will conflict with your assumptions

not have the app come bundled with it's own apache?
We're hoping to avoid bundling Apache2 because that would contradict
the design goal. Specifically, if someone has an existing mod_perl 1,
mod_perl 2, FastCGI or other server, we'd like things to, as much as
possible, "play nicely" with them. Bundling a bunch of stuff they
don't need would be disastrous. Trying to maintain separate bundles
for every configuration option and OS would also be very difficult.
