Dear hackers,

I wish to submit a small patch so that server includes and
all necessary configuration files could be installed *by default*.

The current status is that server includes files are only installed
if explicitly required (make install-all-headers).

The idea is that external extension modules (new types or whatever)
could then *rely* on the fact that these files are available, which
would make developping and installing these extensions quite easier.

As an illustration, the apache software installs by default all
necessary includes and even a special tailored command (apxs) so as
to help extension modules to be compiled, installed and even configured
easilly.

Is there any opposition to this move? Silence will mean consent;-)

Thanks in advance, have a nice day,
