documentation change request

I'm trying to build the mod_fastcgi module for Apache 2.2.

The instructions in the distribution here:
http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/
are pretty minimal and could use some love.

The file  INSTALL.AP2  mentions:
"If your Apache2 installation isn't in /usr/local/apache2, then
    set the top_dir variable when running make (or edit the
    Makefile), e.g."

This isn't clear. My installation of what? The Apache source tree or the
binary?
I'm assuming it's the source tree. If you run make with the defaults and
you're not
set correctly it fails to find "special.mk".
include ${top_builddir}/build/special.mk
Perhaps the docs can mention this?

If you use a software package manager and you install the server you
probably don't have the source tree.
Perhaps it should be mentioned that it's required?

Well, time to get back to trying to get this thing working.

Thanks for your attention
