It's not been 'pointed out';  it's been said.  You know, like Heaven's 
Gate.  It's not Bacon, it's 'bacon-esque', and a large cross-sampling of 
inmates really do choose it over regular bacon.

Yeah, apparently we can use some new, shiny toolkit that exists on newer 
systems to determine how we're going to be finding and linking the krb 
stuff this week, if we know to do it and want to port everything to this 
new system.

So this week, we need to use arcane magically new procedure #681 to link 
in this one project's headers while, on every other OS I work with, 
#include <ssl/ssl.h> just plain works.  That's gonna save me time, hoo 
boy.  Shure.  Why don't I just hook in new packaging code for this one 
OS, and simplify matters by having it guess in each case as to which 
system - #include <ssl/ssl.h> or Buffy's Magic Header Location Guesser 
#681 - it's gonna use, and then the build will be Oh So Much Easier with 
the added bit of code I get to add to every simple freakin' thing.

When did "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" and "keep it simple" stop 
applying?  Why don't they fix (aka revert) the directory location so as 
to keep it working while pleasing the Shiny Things camp?  Why make a 
stand on such a pathetically pointless bag on the side of ./configure?

Then again, I'm guessing that if you don't get it now, you're not even 
in a position to hear what I'm saying.  httpd-devel indeed.

Don't mind me.  Kool-aid's over here, then?
