Well, I'd like to have 2 apaches running one for my brother to develop 
against, and one for me to monkey with configurations, install other 
software and stuff without disrupting him, while I bring the server up 
and down.

Also, I'd like one instance to include one set of a directory structures 
, and another one to include a different set.  Like including my perl 
libs in one apache, and my brother's development perl libs in another.

I just installed from source.  But I don't see any way to pass in a 
different httpd.conf
