[BLU] RPM and Apache-SSL (was The MicroOptical display)

[sstirlin at gis.net (Scott Stirling)]

I've just recently built Apache-SSL from Apache and OpenSSL.  Kind of a pain. 
And I'll do it agin next week.  But compiling in mod_perl and mod_php is a
relative cinch.

What was the suggestion about MySQL?  

I use Apache/Apache-SSL and MySQL with JSP and servlets at work.  I think the
RPM idea is a good one, even if it excludes non-RPM-aware distros.   I'm
interested if there's anything I could do to help.
