no proxy compiled, it's a snap to recompile. like with ssh and squid I
install the RPM, but recompile the actual binary after modifying it to
what I need. that way I know I have a trusted binary from the original
sources, but also a nice entry in the RPM db, that I can trust to check
for future upgrades or dependency/conflict situatons. a busy daemon like
apache is WORTH recompiling from original sources if you want to trust it
100%...
