I feel really mean saying this after you've done all this work, but...
if static apache builds really have been broken since mid-2002, do we
really want to bother attempting to make them supported?
I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the presence of a
preinstalled older svn or lack of root access in any way prevent you
from using dynamic apache modules. Furthermore, I'd say that for a
development/testing scenario, it would usually be much better to go with
the dynamic option, so that you don't have to relink apache to integrate
a new version of the modules.
Max.
