This is an eclass for packages that install themselves into the DocumentRoot specifed in apache 
configuration files. One example is phpBB, which is from where I got the code. I put it into an 
eclass becuase there is other such software, such as bugzilla.

What if someone wants to run a different httpd as default?

See bug # 20642.

The conclusion of bug # 20642 is that attempting to autodetect DocumentRoot is a bad idea -- it should be assumed to be /home/httpd/htdocs.

sorry but im not going to entertain this at this time.

in the future i think an eclass for web stuff is going to be
needed but the foundation for this and what feature will be
needed isnt clear to me quite yet.
