     'SSLEngine on' command. [Paul Querna]

     AcceptFilter and Protocol directives to aid in mapping filter types.
     Extend the Listen directive to optionally take a protocol name.

     referenced as a new authProvider using the AuthBasicProvider or

     the per_dir configuration just before the base provider is called.
     [Brad Nicholes]

     distributed config and the extra config examples in the
     conf/original/ directory during make install.
     [Joshua Slive, Justin Erenkrantz]

     mod_userdir and mod_autoindex as shared modules rather than 
     built-in modules within the NetWare build.
     [Brad Nicholes]

     [Paul Querna]
