Patch

Currently both scripts have code to figure out the name of the apache2
executable and which configuration file to use for the server. I'm currently
in the process of making run-iexploder-tests work for everyone else and
would have to copy the code again.
Instead of copying it to the iexploder-tests script I'm copying it to
webkitdirs.pm and make both existing scripts use the new method to
figure out httpdPath and httpdConfiguration.

I don't feel great about this -- the webktidirs.pm file is getting bigger and bigger with no clear concept of what it does and does not do!

Well, then let us get the concept? Should I write to webkit-dev about it? I think python vs. perl is also playing a role here?

We also have WebKitTools/Scripts/webkitperl/httpd.pm now - could it be a better place to move this code to?

I think most of this is deprecated anyway. I will close this now and come up with a patch for run-iexploder-tests.
