interspersed and cut off

[Pete Gontier]

Thanks for the super -prompt and -useful response. Didn't know about  
variants. I ended up with "+apache" and second-guessing the  
instructions emitted to work with the Apache that was already on  
Panther, and this seems to have gone swimmingly. Having achieved  
comfort with variants, I threw in some more: "+mysql5 +sqlite +pear".  
We'll see what I get out of "+mysql5" in a few hundred years when my  
glacial development server finishes building all that I've thrown at  
it. I suspect I probably should have built mysql5 with its own set of  
variants (I would have thought "server" was implicit but it appears  
not to be), but maybe it will all work out. Good thing I am not in a  
hurry or I'd have to actually know what I am doing before trying it. :-)
