Update the README so that it reflects just what Apache is today, and so 

that it is correct about where things reside.

  What is it?

  -----------



  Apache is an HTTP server designed as a plug-in replacement for

  the NCSA server version 1.3 (or 1.4). It fixes numerous bugs in

  the NCSA server and includes many frequently requested new

  features, and has an API which allows it to be extended to meet

  users' needs more easily.

  The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant

  web server.  Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP

  Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the

  Internet.  As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the

  developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,

  commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available

  source code.

  Installation

  ------------



  Apache 2.0 uses autoconf for configuration and installation.  To create

  Apache's autoconf script, you will need libtool 1.3.3 or higher, and

  autoconf 2.13 or newer.  Those tools will not be required if you are just

  using a package downloaded from apache.org, they are only required for

  developers.



  To configure Apache 2.0 run the following commands.



  ./buildconf  (not required unless you are a developer)

  ./configure [autoconf arguments] [apache arguments]

  make

  make install

  

  The buildconf script is very important.  Just running autoconf will not

  leave the directory tree in a usable state.

  Please see the file called INSTALL.
