This has already been discussed several times (see PR ports/88621 and
previous ones):

<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=88621>

but I have never found a right solution (patches welcome!).
You can ususally keep the previous configuration files between minor
upgrades, but this is not always true.

I'll try at least to add a better post-installation message to warn
about the problem.

Yes, you're right. I remember that someone wanted to define a general
policy about web-apps installation, but I cannot find it again... This
is on my TODO-list.

Its good enough for me ;-) BTW you could write to me (privately) in
french.
