It's statically linked into httpd.  This results in somewhat faster code
execution for the standard modules because it can avoid jumping around in
various shared objects.

(Originally, when I fiddled some of the apxs support into the pkg in the
dark ages of pkgsrc, mod_proxy was also compiled in statically.  This was
factored out based on the desires of a few people to keep it separate for
security reasons; the rest of the standard modules are still compiled
statically.)
