*) Change the CacheRoot processing to check for a required
value at config time. This saves a lot of wasted processing
if the mod_disk_cache module is loaded but no CacheRoot

and avoid useless pallocs and procesing when the computed
cache file name cannot be opened. This also updates the
docs accordingly. [Paul J. Reder]

*) Modified version check on openssl so that it finds the executable

*) SECURITY: Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]
*) mod_autoindex output when SuppressRules was specified would

*) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to

switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
that requirement. [Sander Striker]
