Yes, new stuff goes into /usr/local, but in this case I would like to avoid 
having multiple executables/binaries with the same names (like httpd and 
apachectl) to avoid confusion and simple mistakes. The ./configure for httpd2 
has a layout option for OpenBSD, that works fine as well.

The result of `make -V SKIPDIR' is usr.sbin/httpd as it should be, and a  
`make -V SKIPDIR | xargs ls' gives a listing of usr.sbin/httpd. But the  
`make build` seems not to behave as expected.
