I disagree - but you know that alreay ;-). We should ship versions that
work out of the box.

I still think that a separate OptimizedForApache package makes most
sense. The installer could test if AllowOverride works (by trying to
include a htaccess protected JS file) and then suggest the user to
download the optimizer package (with a direct link!).
