The Apache Toolkit: Timesaver Deluxe

Death of Rats writes "Today I found this tool. Its called The Apache Toolbox and is a REAL timesaver. No more struggling to get Apache working the way you want it with the features you want it. This program will install and configure not only Apache, but SSL, PHP, MySQL, ZendOptimizer, mod_auth_nds, mod_dynvhost, WebDAV, mod_fastcgi, mod_gzip, mod_layout, mod_throttle, mod_accessref, mod_auth_sys, mod_bandwidth, mod_auth_ldap, mod_roaming, mod_perl, OpenLDAP, and the latest gd libraries with PNG support. It is menu-driven, it also checks for any RPMs that would cause conflicts AND downloads any required software automatically using wget. It doesn't get any better than this :)"

This is a great project. DSO modules have made it a lot easier to install add ons to your Apache project, but many modules are still pretty painful to install (mod_ssl, mod_perl).
What would really be nice is for someone to do a CPAN style module system for Apache. Personally I think it would be nice if you just got the core system from the Apache group and then just fetched what modules you wanted/needed from that point. Something like this could even get more people contributing to the Apache project and remove some of the stigma they get for being an "old boys club".
