Re: mmc patch

Well, this is all I needed to hear! Ok then, the patch will be applied 
shortly. I have one last questions about it though. So right new we 
will have

	mmc -n mysite /home/mysite

which drops off mod_mysite.so in the local directory. And we will have

	mmc -i -n mysite /home/mysite

which drops off mod_mysite.so in the apache libexec directory. What do 
people think about

	mmc -i <path> -n mysite /home/mysite

which would drop off mod_mysite.so in whatever path was specified ?

I think that might be kinda cool too :)

BTW: Cyb.org, please apply your patch when ready! And thanks for the 
cool ideas!
