Odd. FollowSymLinks should already be present in the config files for
4.3.18. Which stanza did you need to add it to?

When making a tarball to copy onto other systems, it's better to do a
./configure --client since you'll end up pulling in slightly lighter
binaries, however the ones produced by the server config should still
work.
