Must have missed that the first time around or at least failed to grasp 
why it was of concern. If I am honest fail to see why you have a 
problem with all the virtual hosts using the same scheme but what the 
heck, its your system.

It would appear not. There is only one DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN and one 
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL per mm_cfg.py file. The value of those variables 
define the scheme to be used in URL's generated by the MM software that 
accesses that file. I think it is safe to assume that all the virtual 
hosts being supported by that MM installation will those values and 
hence use the same scheme.

I would think that running ./configure with two different values of 
--with-prefix, followed by make install for each, would be the simplest 
approach and work just fine. I am sure you can work out the additional 
entries in your httpd.conf for the 'https server' and the 'http server' 
to coexist. And you have the to ensure that mail aliases supported by 
the two MM installs do not collide as far as your MTA is concerned.
