That won't work with subversion's install, it uses apsx to install the Apache
modules which are outside your "staging area" (the modules are copied to
wherever Apache has its modules and httpd.conf is also changed).

Another technique is to find what was changed:

1. touch timestamp
2. make install
3. find /usr -newer timestamp -print > installed-filelist.txt

Of course it assumes everything is under /usr or wherever you do the find (/
won't work because many things change all the time under /var and /proc).

A more complicated technique is to use a chroot'ed staging area. That one
covers all possible changes but it's difficult to set up (you need to copy all
the files that will be needed).
