I have updated the Apache and Apache/mod_ssl pkgs for NetBSD's pkgsrc
(similar to FreeBSD's ports) system.

The NetBSD setup is rather special in that it completely splits the
installation of Apache and mod_ssl.  The Apache pkg (www/apache) is
installed without mod_ssl, but does contain the EAPI and documentation links
for a possible future installation of mod_ssl.  It also contains the
necessary lines in the default httpd.conf to load the libcrypto, libssl,
and librsaref (if needed) shared libraries dynamically before mod_ssl.so.

The mod_ssl pkg (www/ap-ssl) compiles and installs without the need for an
Apache source tree, as Apache was installed beforehand with the necessary
patches.  It uses the `apxs' Perl script to compile, link, and install
mod_ssl.so.  Whe Apache is run, the new section of httpd.conf described
above will load the necessary libraries and mod_ssl, _only_ if needed with
httpd -DSSL ("apachectl startssl").

Many thanks to Ralf S. Engelschall for a wonderful, free product!
