When it took you longer I guess you started from scratch with your old
configuration and not with the pre-configured httpd.conf file.  Because when
you install Apache+mod_ssl via APACI you get an already pre-configured
httpd.conf file where all SSL directives are present and setup correctly.

This pre-configured SSL setup should be treated as the "HowTo section".  But
perhaps I should add a notice to the INSTALL file that people should look at
it.

The mod_ssl presentation at ApacheCon showed new stuff present in the
forthcoming mod_ssl 2.1 version. You have the latest version of 2.0, only.

The SSLMutex and SSLSessionCache in 2.1 are for the global context.  But
beside this it's a good idea. I'll try to overtake your example in adjusted
form for the mod_ssl 2.1 documentation as a all-in-one example to give the
user an impression what is actually needed. Thanks for sharing your
experiences.
