[pubcookie-users] Problem compiling Pubcookie 3.3.2c on Debian Etch x86

[Matt Weatherford]

sorry for the spam...

  I solved my own bonehead problem - I found the module that was dumped into 
/usr/lib/apache2/modules, that works way better than
trying to force the keyclient binary to be a module. :)

Thanks for listening  :)
