mod_shib registers as mod_apache.cpp?

[Michael Jinks]

I'm setting up an SP on Apache/RHEL 6, using a copy of the RPM in the
Yum repository linked from the Shib web site, version
2.4.3-2.2.el6.x86_64.

Everything went fine until I tried to protect a path, at which point
Apache ignored any Shib-related settings I tried, even though the
Metadata link worked fine.  I enabled server_info, and found that all
of the Shib directives were listed under "Module Name: mod_apache.cpp",
not mod_shib.c or similar.  Since the documented configuration calls
for,

 <IfModule mod_shib.c>

...Apache wasn't associating that module with any configuration
directives.  Changing my shib.conf to read:

 <IfModule mod_apache.cpp>

...works around the problem.  But it looks like this is a bug in the
packaged build, right?  Or did I miss something and cause this myself?
