Creating a build system for your module will be challenging and irritating.
No doubt :) Obviously, a one-.c-file project isn't so hard using apxs. Anything more sophisticated gets messy. I'd encourage you to take a peek at the work Guenter and I had done at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/mod_ftp/trunk/ to create a schema that will build detached from httpd sources, and also build in-tree if that's desired.
