[Mod_gzip] Makefile problem for Apache static compile

thanks for debugging my pages. I changed this line accordingly.

It looks this way, yet a "grep LIBEXT" in the Apache source
directory gives me the impression that it might be the task
of "configure" to automagically set this extension.

And because ".a" might be the wrong extension on some platforms
I wouldn't rather hardcode this into "Makefile.tmpl" in general.

Nice. I added a section to my documentation about this.

This is what mod_gzip is meant to do. ;-)
