Still works fine for nearly all ports, but just for apache ports there
appears to be subtle problems with the logic since it's so
complicated.  That's why Olli chose to disable the WITH_ option style
for Apache, and I think it was the right decision.

I would suggest you learn the new (just as simple) syntax and see how
you get on with it :)
