No, i never heared about him. If I remember correctly Anton Berezin has done 
the package but I may be wrong.

PageKit has so much other packages, that should be Updated as well, so it 
might be hard for a maintainer because he has to care about a lot of 
packages.

My personal and practice proofed best option is create a user xyz copy the 
sources of perl, apache and some libraries into that users home. Create 
$HOME/bin, $HOME/lib and $HOME/httpd. Add these to your PATH and LD env vars.
Compile libxml2, libxslt and other libs you may like to use. then build perl 
and apache. Now install perl modules with CPAN or CPANPLUS. Thats it. You 
have a perfectly independent installation. your main environment is totaly 
independent you can update switch to the newest libraries or back to the old 
days but your own users apache runs and runs. And you can use you packages or 
rpm as habitual.

Thats perfectly cool even if you share the administration with some other on 
the same machine. It saved my life and time very often.
