 After upgrading from apache2 @2.2.4_1 to @2.2.9_1, I realized in horror
 that my httpd-vhosts.conf file had been '''erased''' and replaced by the
 default one.

 Note that the main httpd.conf was preserved. But ALL files in
 /opt/local/apache2/conf/extra/ were replaced without warning.
 At the minimum, I would suggest making a backup of the user's conf files
 before replacing them. Or deliver the default files as httpd-
 xxxx.conf.sample, like what is done for the httpd.conf file.


 I was out of the office, and therefore far from my backup, so I had to
 rebuild my complicated vhosts. Very painful...

 Note: During the upgrade, I had to make a "port clean apache2" to have a
 successful compilation. Maybe it is related to the problem?
 Note: MacPort 1.600, Mac OS X 10.5.4
