Status: releases can be put in the repository, possibly an apache plugin should symlink these together.
Response: an Apache plugin sounds like a very good idea (if you're suggesting what I think you are) - would the Apache plugin handle the details of the Apache distibution layout (all those symlinks and so on down into binary and source directories)? If so, would it be possible to make this all a single operation?
