[csw-maintainers] solicitation of feedback on apache2 issue

I'll point out that there are a few other options, such as:

1. using some kind of autodetect in a postinstall script, to figure
out which user to run as
 (if id webservd then WEBUSER=webservd else WEBUSER=nobody)


2. making more use of our currently rather small csw.conf, in a
postinstall script.
   We could add to our spec, some kind of official "web server user" config.

  webserver_username=(apache)

if set, use whatever it is set to. if not, use best guess.
