Hello,

The commit title should be:

	apache: pass explicit sbindir

This needs to be wrapped at 72 characters. Also, it's good avoid first
person sentences. So instead of "I suspect" you could say: "Most people
probably expect httpd to be located in /usr/sbin/httpd".

Perhaps a quick comment would be appropriate above APACHE_CONF_OPTS,
like:

# Explicitly pass sbindir, because apache configure script defines it
# to PREFIX/bin, which doesn't make much sense

Or something like that.

Could you respin an updated version ?

Thanks!
