Instalation comment
Hi,

When Embperl asks for 'apache sources', all it really needs are just
headers... I have apache/modperl installed from rpm and I was missing
apache headers. Even downloading apache soources wasn't enough, because
it needed to configure them first. Apparently all is really needed is
apache-devel.rpm.

I propose change Embperl's question to 'apache includes' or something
similar to make it less confusing for all of us lazy RPM users and
perhaps add warning to FAQ about both apache and apache-devel RPMs
needed.

Because I don't use RPM's it would be very helpfull if you could write this
paragraph and I add it to the FAQ and INSTALL files.
