[gentoo-user] How can I disable some apache modules?

[Jarry]

Hi,
I'd like to disable some apache modules (mod_autoindex and
mod_userdir). I checked /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, but it says

# GENTOO: Automatically defined based on APACHE2_MODULES
# USE_EXPAND variable.
# Do not change manually, it will be overwritten on upgrade.

OK, when this is not recommended way, I tried to set it up
in /etc/make.conf:

APACHE2_MODULES="${APACHE2_MODULES} -autoindex -userdir"

But when I try re-emerge apache, I get a lot of errors like this:

Invalid '-' operator in non-incremental variable 'APACHE2_MODULES': 
'-autoindex'

So how can I control which apache modules are build and loaded?

APACHE2_MODULES aren't incremental. All you put in is built, all you don't put 
in isn't built ! That's it.

Apparently, though unproven, at 14:34 on Saturday 21 May 2011, Jarry did opine 
thusly:

APACHE2_MODULES is non-incremental (the output message says so right there) 
which means you can't take stuff out. You can only prevent it ever going in:

Remove the things you don't want from APACHE2_MODULES in /etc/make.conf

But I did not have any APACHE2_MODULES in /etc/make.conf
so there is nothing I could remove, and I do not know what
I should put in it. I do not want to change anything else,
except for those two modules. Where can I find default value
of APACHE2_MODULES?
