That would be my first and safest thought. Note that only a single
depth backup is made so make your own.
Since the tool is python it is not insane to copy or modify the
python.
A minor bit of grep and find and I see:
## File generated automatically by genClass.py
## Do not edit this file directly.
....
./ApacheBase.py: rmd5 = hexstr (md5 (open ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf', 'r').read ()).digest())
./ApacheBase.py: os.remove ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak')
./ApacheBase.py: os.rename ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf', '/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak')
./ApacheBase.py: open ('/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf', 'w').write (result)
There is no magic $HTTPDCONF but it looks very possible in an open source world to change...
Just do a bit of digging... and do not ignore the pile of handy documents.
