There is an issue with the apache2 spell (and maybe the apache22 spell, 
though 
I haven't checked) that I wanted to present for possible solutions.  It seems 
the configure script pretty much ignores any setting of --prefix (and related 
options) and will only use settings defined in config.layout.  Currently the 
spell is set to use the layout of GNU, and that puts everything in /usr/local 
(not specifying a layout seems to be pretty close to the same as specifying 
GNU).  There isn't a perfect layout choice which maps directly with where we 
install files by default.

There are two options, as I see it:
 1) Use the Debian layout instead, which is the closest to how we do it, of
    the options already available.
 2) Create a patch where I define a new layout that is exactly how we do it,
    then set the spell to use that layout.

Is it acceptable enough to use the Debian layout, or should I create a 
SourceMage (LSB?) layout?  Here is the definition of the Debian layout (if 
you want to see what other layouts are available, see the config.layout file 
in the root directory of the source):

# Debian layout
<Layout Debian>
    prefix:
    exec_prefix:   ${prefix}/usr
    bindir:        ${exec_prefix}/bin
    sbindir:       ${exec_prefix}/sbin
    libdir:        ${exec_prefix}/lib
    libexecdir:    ${exec_prefix}/lib/apache2/modules
    mandir:        ${exec_prefix}/share/man
    sysconfdir:    ${prefix}/etc/apache2
    datadir:       ${exec_prefix}/share/apache2
    iconsdir:      ${datadir}/icons
    htdocsdir:     ${prefix}/usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs
    manualdir:     ${htdocsdir}/manual
    cgidir:        ${prefix}/usr/lib/cgi-bin
    includedir:    ${exec_prefix}/include/apache2
    localstatedir: ${prefix}/var/run
    runtimedir:    ${prefix}/var/run
    logfiledir:    ${prefix}/var/log/apache2
    proxycachedir: ${prefix}/var/cache/apache2/proxy
    infodir:       ${exec_prefix}/share/info
    installbuilddir: ${prefix}/etc/apache2/build
    errordir:      ${datadir}/error
</Layout>
