+suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their
+owners. It consists of an Apache module (mod_suphp) and a setuid root
+binary (suphp) that is called by the Apache module to change the uid of
+the process executing the PHP interpreter.
+
+This version was compiled to look for its config-file in /etc/apache
+rather then just /etc as 'httpd' looks there aswell.
+
+Some of the 'standard' /etc/apache/httpd.conf directives include:
+
+  LoadModule suphp_module  /usr/libexec/apache/mod_suphp.so
+  suPHP_Engine on
+  AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
+  suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
+  suPHP_UserGroup someuser users
+
+To use different php versions 'per vhost' see:
+http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_suphp_php4_php5
+
+suPHP needs a CGI build of the .php interpreter, usually named 'php-cgi'
+implying having to (re)compile PHP with in place of '--with-apxs'
+
+  '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'
+
+Note that it being somewhat slower then mod_php can be redused
+(grately) by building for the FastCGI too and using mod_fcgid
+however that would need additional configuration, see:
+http://fastcgi.coremail.cn/configuration.htm
