Summary:                    Split off an apache2 utilities package for tools
like "ab"
Description: 
Currently, helpful tools which are in-dependent from apache itself, like
the benchmarking tool "ab" are part of the core apache2c package (which
pulls in apache itself). IMHO it would be useful to provide a package -
like Debian has it with apache2-utils - that contains these tools and only
depends on the portable apache runtime.

I think I could make apache2 depend on apache2-utils, but allow
apache2-utils to be independent.  I'll look at this again now that 2.2.17
is out with the other issues resolved.
