[Blair Zajac]

Hi Randall,

I have a MacPorts build on a portable firewire/USB drive and on this 
drive is a Python app that starts Apache and MySQL and then points a 
browser at the local running Apache.

So given that the Apache is on a portable drive, when I build the port, 
I don't need the startupitem, hence the variant.

BTW, MySQL doesn't enable the automatic startup of the server unless the 
+server variant is supplied.

Regards,
Blair
