It's the only thing under web/library, and the meaning of "apache" leaves room
for doubt (httpd or asf?). +1 to drop the web.

Disagree, unless the whole of fastcgi goes there.

Um, the meaning is clear. Drop the second one and there's potential for
confusion.
Especially if someone is looking for mysql in a non-php context ("oh, they've

+1. Ditto other packages in the same collection: you didn't mention such
atrocities as plugin-php52

+1 to jk as far as it goes. Having this as a separate module while AJP is
bundled
jars a bit, but that's down to upstream.

Hehe. Looks like a typo, but not so clear where it originates!
