Thanks :)

There were quite a few changes in apache 2.2.*, which is why i've created 
another spell for it.
One of the changes is (as you noticed) that it ignores the configure options 
in favor of a layout.

Another change is the renaming of the modules, some of which have missing 
--enable or --disable options.
The same might be true for httpd-dev, i haven't had the time to check that 
yet.

The apache22 spell is using a custom SMGL layout which i tried to keep pretty 
much the same as the usual layout.
I'd recommend to use this for the apache2 spell as well.
