I just double checked on my machine, when you run ./setup you're asked:

Build as an Apache module? ('yes', 'no' or dir)[no] : 

Enter the path to your Apache source tree e.g.
/usr/src/apache/apache_1.3.0 not the one to the already compiled binary.

hope that helps

Probably.....

With Apache 1.3 you can hook up modules with out recompiling the httpd.
Though this function is still in a very early stage and not recommended
yet. I did compile PHP3 last week and then recompiled Apache 1.3 with
PHP3 support. I never tried it with 1.2.x, but that shouldn't be any
diffrent.
