Very reasonable.  /home/httpd was the result of moving from the very old
/usr/local/httpd, which is where things were installed before I gave the
Apache ebuild a massive overhaul.  We need not stay with /home/httpd
forever, in fact it really does need to move somewhere else.  Looks
like /var/www has become the defacto standard.
