It's not appearing to be as trivial as I'd first thought. Running apache2 on
Ubuntu 10.04 results in bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} even when trying to
do apache2 -S

apache2ctl may work but it's going to require a complicated, and likely
machine dependent configuration file for each project. I'll keep looking
into it though.

Eric: PHP5.4 improvements look sweet, that'll be nice.
