>Description:

apache-current has the following problems:

1) http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2001/11/08/0005.html
2) This package installs libexpat.* files into ${PREFIX}/lib. If the
   system already has expat-[0-9]* installed this will destroy/overwrite it.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

1) http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-pkg/2001/11/08/0009.html

  This means we have to update patches/patch-ae so that the problematic
  configuration section is commented out. A simple thing to do.

2) We have two alternatives: make apache-current CONFLICT with expat-[0-9]*
   or patch apache's files to use the already-installed expat package (I
   think this is better).

Unfortunately I don't have time right now to fix this so I thought it's
better to file a PR so that this will not be forgotten...
