hi,

dont leave the unwanted/old modules in the modules directory.
make a new directory called modules-available and put them into there.

better still, emulate the method used for virtual servers and
move modules to modules-available and then make a directory called
modules and synlink the required files from modules-available

(it would be good if the server did modules-enabled/ etc like the
virtual servers...)

be aware, too, that if you

'make install'

over a previous version it will write files that are non-existant
into place...eg if you didnt need modules/detail and blew it away or
renamed it then it'll put the normal original copy into place.

either way, how the system works means you cannot just leave the
originals lying around.  the same is very very much true with
apache 2.x and its ocnfig files.... especially those with eg Fedora/RHEL
where it'll read /etc/httpd/conf.d/* (indeed, same issue with just moving
files out the way and then 'yum update' etc)
