Yeah, mixing Apache RPMs is evil, the dependency facilities in RPM
is just not enough to achieve full modularity in apache-mod_ssl
There should probably be a FAQ just for doing this...
And some things just don't run reliably as a loadable module
no matter what you do... mod_perl for example...
But I hear that RedHat 6.2 work fairly well, I haven't confirmed,
though.

Yeah, and often mixing non-EAPI/EAPI stuff.
Too bad the apache group didn't include EAPI, but started to discuss
how to do it better, ending up with nothing...
