difficulty building shibboleth SP from source on RHEL6 for Apache 2.4

[Paul Beckett (ITCS)]

Looking at the configure script, the section that is failing is:
     v=`$httpd -v|$SED -n -e 's/.*Apache\/\.*//p'`
     case $v in
       1.3*)   enable_apache_13=yes
               with_apxs=$xs
               { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: 1.3" >&5
$as_echo "1.3" >&6; }
               ;;
       2.0*)   enable_apache_20=yes
               with_apxs2=$xs
               { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: 2.0" >&5
$as_echo "2.0" >&6; }
               ;;
       2.2*)   enable_apache_22=yes
               with_apxs22=$xs
               { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: 2.2" >&5
$as_echo "2.2" >&6; }
               ;;
       *)      as_fn_error $? "unusable apache versions: $v. Try setting --with-apxs" "$LINENO" 5



It appears the case statement doesn't support 2.4.

Cheers,
Paul
