The default (if no layout is specified) is below. That would be the default
upstream install. Would that be better to use as a base? I think there
would be quite a few changes to get it to fit properly into the way we
currently do things. If you ignore prefix (as being a given that it would
change), the settings I see needing to be changed are mandir, sysconfdir,
libexecdir, datadir, & localstatedir, and possibly sbindir.

# Classical Apache path layout.
<Layout Apache>
prefix: /usr/local/apache2
exec_prefix: ${prefix}
bindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
sbindir: ${exec_prefix}/bin
libdir: ${exec_prefix}/lib
libexecdir: ${exec_prefix}/modules
mandir: ${prefix}/man
sysconfdir: ${prefix}/conf
datadir: ${prefix}
installbuilddir: ${datadir}/build
errordir: ${datadir}/error
iconsdir: ${datadir}/icons
htdocsdir: ${datadir}/htdocs
manualdir: ${datadir}/manual
cgidir: ${datadir}/cgi-bin
includedir: ${prefix}/include
localstatedir: ${prefix}
runtimedir: ${localstatedir}/logs
logfiledir: ${localstatedir}/logs
proxycachedir: ${localstatedir}/proxy
</Layout>

Which isn't very close to the default upstream install, in this case, but
keeping it close to what we've been doing would be my vote, also.
