I was installing a Koha site from source and got a syntax error from the
"Order" directive since I am using Apache 2.4 and koha-http.conf is designed
for Apache 2.2.

It's an easy enough change to use "Require all denied" instead of "Order
deny,allow\n Deny from all", but I wonder if we should update the file to use
Apache 2.4 just to keep non-package installs more in-line with package installs
(although I suppose there are quite a few differences between the Apache
configuration files anyway).

I was planning to submit a patch using mod_version, but that's an extension
module, so I think it might be a bit much to expect people to install that just
to run Koha out of the box. I notice openSUSE doesn't even have mod_version in
the 42.2 repositories, so I'm just going to update my file to 2.4 sytnax, but
thought I'd raise it here in any case.
