Dynamic modules versus build from scratch

[lists at lazygranch.com]

The centos nginx from the repo lacks ngx_http_hls_module. This is a
technique to add the module without compilation.

Does anyone have experience with this? I'd like to avoid building nginx
from scratch to make the updates go faster. When I ran freeBSD, I built
nginx, so that isn't the problem. Rather I want to stay as "native" to
centos as possible.
