One more thing.  Your PLIST_FILES will depend upon which version of Apache 
is installed.  For example, if Apache 20 is installed, mod_auth_xradius.so 
is in /usr/local/libexec/apache2/ and your PLIST_FILES entry will fail to 
remove it, since you specify apache22 as the path.

So, PLIST_FILES should be like this:
PLIST_FILES=    ${APACHEMODDIR}/mod_auth_xradius.so

That way, no matter which version of apache2 is installed, the library will 
be properly removed on deinstall.
