I would prefer that shibd be included, because it is possible in theory if
not necessarily in current fact to configure the use of things like
Moonshot and SAML-EC to use shibd in some cases.

In other respects, yes, the code in Moonshot is linked to the SP libraries
but isn't necessarily using the Apache module.

Probably would be similar in make up, but not for that purpose.
