ClearModuleList/AddModule are not DSO specific - they just shuffle around
the order of the internal module list, which is what apache dispatches
against at request time. note that both of these are provide by core, while
LoadModule is provided by mod_so.

unfortunately not. I'm working on the ability to shuffle module around like
that, but I can't get it to work on win32.
but directories are really something different. in mp2 it looks like we'll
need to take the approach that mod_dir does in 2.0 - if you want your
PerlResponseHandler to be triggered for directories you'll specifically need
to set $r->handler('perl-script') in a fixup handler.

the internal content type that Apache sets when it sees that the uri
resolves to a directory. I think it's http/unix-directory or something, but
you can check httpd.h for that.

yeah, you can probably just check for DIR_MAGIC_TYPE here.
