   maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems 
   including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to 
   provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides 
-  HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

+  HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
+CONFIG_HTTPD_MPM
+  The worker MPM uses multiple child processes with many threads each.
+  Each thread handles one connection at a time.
+  Worker generally is a good choice for high-traffic servers because it
+  has a smaller memory footprint than the prefork MPM.
+  The prefork MPM uses multiple child processes with one thread each.
+  Each process handles one connection at a time.
+  On many systems, prefork is comparable in speed to worker, but it uses more memory.
+  Prefork's threadless design has advantages over worker in some situations:
+  it can be used with non-thread-safe third-party modules, and it is easier to
+  debug on platforms with poor thread debugging support.
+CONFIG_HTTPD_NONPORTATOM
+  By default, APR uses mutex-based atomics on Linux.
+  If you configure with --enable-nonportable-atomics, however,
+  APR generates code that uses a 486 opcode for fast hardware compare-and-swap.
+  This will result in more efficient atomic operations,
+  but the resulting executable will run only on 486 and later chips (and not on 386).
+CONFIG_HTTPD_SUEXEC
