Right... The vast majority of files contained under the dev kit are actually
present also in the All-Kernel packages.  When the devkit was initially released,
many of it's components were still under beta status with us.  They have since
been tested, patched where necessary, and re-released in the new packages.

Oops, guess I forgot to add that to the notes.  It's full path is
/usr/sbin/apachectl ...

Unfortunately, version checks are done against the modules so a module compiled
for 1.3.6 will not work with Apache 1.3.9.  On the plus side, compiling modules
with the new version is much easier as it has full apxs support and you do not
need a full Apache source.  I haven't redone php yet so I'm not certain but try
doing a ./configure --help and you should see options such as USE-APXS and
WITH-APXS (at least most new modules have this option).  Set the 'use' to 1 and
the 'with' to   /usr/sbin/apxs and let me know if you have any problems.
