+WARNING
+
+This script builds a package that conflicts with apache1.  Before
+attempting to install this package, you should uninstall any of
+these packages that you find on your system:
+
+apache
+mod_ssl
+php
+
+Really though, the only points of overlap are in /usr/sbin, so if you
+leave your old packages in place apache2 will still work, but the
+apache1 httpd will have been overwritten (along with other files)
+
+Apache is the most popular web server in the known universe; over half
+the servers on the Internet are running Apache or one of its variants.
+
+By default, we build apache2 with the traditional "apache prefork" multi
+processing module (MPM).  This is somewhat safer for the use of mod_php,
+but can still carry some security risks (all your php scripts run as the
+user configured to run apache2).
+
+For enhanced multi-threaded performance, use "apache worker", but using
+mod_php with "worker" is considered dangerous.  PHP Core is multi-thread
+safe, but many PHP extensions are *NOT*.  To build apache2 with the
+worker MPM, change the option to:  --with-mpm=worker
+
+Please note that this script does not build apache2 with SuEXEC support.
+The Apache group feels SuEXEC should not be part of a default install.
+If you need this functionality, please read the following documentation
+and make the necessary changes to the ./configure options in the script.
