"Uses www/apache20 as default." Default for what? Also, this accepts
ranges so please document these. Especially 2.0+ is useful.
(This accepts both 13, 20, and 1.3, 2.0, but I can't tell which is
supposed to be preferred.)

Please remove mentions of WITH_BDB_VER completely, it's deprecated way
of doing things.

we'd all run around in a darkened room munching pills and listening to
repetitive music.
