apache2 MacPorts info message

Hi All,

I always wondered why my apache would not start at boot-time... Now I  
updgraded to MacPorts apache2 version 2.2.6 and take a quick look  
into it. Apparently one has to edit
   /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2/ 
org.macports.apache2.plist
and change the Disabled key to false?
   <key>Disabled</key><false/>

Is this true? If so, this should be documented in the info-message  
given upon installation of apache2 via MacPorts:

###########################################################
# A startup item has been generated that will aid in
# starting apache2 with launchd. It is disabled
# by default. Execute the following command to start it,
# and to cause it to launch at startup:
#
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/ 
org.macports.apache2.plist
###########################################################

This message indicates, launchctl would take care of that stuff. It  
doesn't, at least not for me.
If, however, the user has to do this manually, it should be said at  
that point.

If I am overlooking something, I am happy to learn about it;)

Schöne Grüße,
Jochen
