Currently the apache-httpd (Apache httpd 2.x) port defaults to using
various directories under /var/apache2 (htdocs, logs, cgi-bin, icons,
error). Now that we clearly need to support multiple httpd's in ports
(base httpd, while useful in some cases, is not able to support some
of the software in ports), I think it would be nice to make the
various http servers as interchangeable as possible in the default
configuration, so I propose to change these to use the "usual" locations
under /var/www.

I'll write a diff but before I do that I just wondered what anyone
else thinks, can anyone think of problems with this approach that
I might be missing?

(I think we also need to replicate the /var/www/conf/modules.sample
mechanism for Apache 2, which also brings the question of where this
should be located - for existing ports, many of which use a prefix
of /var/www, things are probably simpler if this is somewhere under
/var/www).
