No. It's so that we can add product tokens to the server name via
the Configuration file..

EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DSERVER_VERSION=\"Apache/1.2 mod_perl/0.85_04\""

editing httpd.h all the time is a pain.

Apache + mod_perl is practically/functionally a different server to
the base Apache. I see no reason to hide that fact or make it a pain
to do so.

Doug's too modest to make noises here about mod_perl. It even
makes the coffee. It's a perl CGI replacement, but a *lot* more too.
