Frontpage on Apache 2.x?

I'm probably putting a kick me sign on my own back asking this here, but you know how it is.

The number of clients requesting FP is getting high enough I can't tell them to get a clue any more, I'm relenting and attempting to accomodate. However, it appears there is no packages supporting FP on Apache any more and even harder still finding one I trust to not b0rk Apache. Is there a way to get it working that is reasonably safe? It must be doable to some degree as Plesk/Cpanel/Confixx still support it, but I don't want to use those tools

I thought I had found a howto on Gentoo Wiki once but it seems to have disappeeared.

Any ideas? I wasn't sure if this belongs here or in unsupported software....

Don't modern Frontpage clients support DAV? I would never run ms fp extensions on a server I cared about. Apache2 DAV should be ok though.

Didn't microsoft finally abandon frontpage?

I'm not entirely sure -- it seems as though DAV might have taken over. Does anyone know the story here?
