Apache 2.4 updated API - "Require all granted"

EPrints uses "Order allow, deny" in its auto-generated configuration which is no longer supported in Apache 2.4. So EPrints on Apache 2.4 will reply "403 Forbidden" to any EPrints-y requests. Since the auto-generated conf must work for pre-2.4 and 2.4+, we need a way to detect Apache's version to switch to the correct syntax.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10707186/detect-apache-version-in-apache-config presents way to do such detection.

If you use the patch on an existing EPrints - you need to regenerate the Apache configuration in order to enable this to work;

/opt/eprints3/bin/generate_apacheconf --system --replace
