whereas my experience with the Windows based Apache it doesn't.

That message was about Apache 1.3. I'm on Apache 2.2. There is no -F option:

Adefaria-lt:/usr/sbin/httpd2 -F
httpd2: illegal option -- F
Usage: /usr/sbin/httpd2 [-D name] [-d directory] [-f file]
                         [-C "directive"] [-c "directive"]
                         [-k start|restart|graceful|graceful-stop|stop]
                         [-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-t] [-T] [-S]
Options:
   -D name            : define a name for use in <IfDefine name> directives
   -d directory       : specify an alternate initial ServerRoot
   -f file            : specify an alternate ServerConfigFile
   -C "directive"     : process directive before reading config files
   -c "directive"     : process directive after reading config files
   -e level           : show startup errors of level (see LogLevel)
   -E file            : log startup errors to file
   -v                 : show version number
   -V                 : show compile settings
   -h                 : list available command line options (this page)
   -l                 : list compiled in modules
   -L                 : list available configuration directives
   -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS  : show parsed settings (currently only vhost settings)
   -S                 : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
   -t -D DUMP_MODULES : show all loaded modules
   -M                 : a synonym for -t -D DUMP_MODULES
   -t                 : run syntax check for config files
   -T                 : start without DocumentRoot(s) check
