This adds frontpage support to apache. There are a few thinks that needs to be adressed. There is no ebuild for frontpage. You need to have frontpage installed in /usr/local/frontpage/ and there is only support for frontpage version 5. You need to add "frontpage" in your USE flag to use this. Frontpage+ssl will crash the server (when ssl is enabled). This is NOT a Gentoo bug! I will look into this problem and see if there is a way around it.

needless to say, i cannot accept this withouth some accompanying frontpage package for people to use. so why submit this now then? as an aside, wouldnt mod_dav be a better solution? or are you bent on using the microsoft frontpage stuff? im not terribly keen on accepting this anyways, btw..
make a proper mod_frontpage package.
mod_dav is apparently supported by Word, Excel and its buddies, however FP itself (from version 2000 onwards) use a proprietary superset of DAV commands, making itself incompatible with vanilla DAV. I'm still playing with it, but I would probably have to go the FPSE route as well :(
