Just configure it to redirect large files to ftp (using RedirectMatch or 
similar)

Joe Orton @ Red Hat maintains 'em for 2.0

They change interfaces for modules (ie, you have to rebuild the whole 
stack from apr on down, and 3rd-party stuff may shatter), so no sane 
vendor's likely to add them in. If all you're doing though is standard 
mods that are all open source, patching and rebuilding works fine

apache httpd 2.1 has it fixed
