(A)(P)ache E(X)ten(S)ion tool.  It's a tool which allows you to add Apache
modules dynamically - in other words, it allows you to add functionality
like PHP to Apache without re-installing Apache from scratch.  When you run
the PHP configure command use the following configuration option.

--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
