Earlier in this thread it was indicated that the user did file a PR, and I 
did respond. The user doesn't feel that the apache dependency is needed, I 
(and long experience) disagree.

The user is free to install htdig without apache, or with a different style 
of apache, as he sees fit.

Case closed,
