When you build the Apache2 SAPI the only binary build is the module, so 
'--program-suffix' is unused. Anyway it doesn't have to be the same 
configuration option per say (though I don't see why not), but the 
method of specifying the suffix with configure is much handier than 
having it hard-coded in source. I've stated the reasons in the previous 
e-mail.

Best regards,
Arnold
