Oracle's approach is different than that from e.g. Macromedia. Macromedia configures an existing and installed Apache; Oracle delivers a pre-compiled HTTP Server, that is based on ('powered by') Apache. Some modules have been precompiled; others are dynamically loaded.

Oracle customers do not get support on other builds of Apache; nor can they add custom modules to an Oracle installation to be fully supported. If there is added value for customers (and customers demand it) I am sure that Oracle will move to version 2 as well. Consider logging an enhancement request at http://ers.oracle.com (and give a proper justification).
