[mp2] ideas for pre-loading modules before server startup?

[Stas Bekman]

I see, that Philippe has found a nice trick to load Apache::PerlSections 
at the server startup, w/o actually doing that explicitly. He deployed 
the handlers automatic autoloading. Though this trick doesn't work for 
other things. I want to move the pre-loading of APR::Error to the the 
internals of mp2, but since it may reside in the Apache2/ subdir, we 
can't try loading it, before a user loads Apache2.pm. Which may not 
happen at all. And we may need to load other modules in the future as 
well (e.g. things that we discussed before - load Apache::RequestRec 
before handing user $r).

We can't force on user loading Apache2, since he may want to adjust 
@INC, before Apache2.pm is loaded.

I thought that moving APR/* packages out of Apache2/ will solve that 
problem, removing the dependancy on Apache2.pm, but as Joe suggested 
it's probably not the best approach, due to versioning...

So if you have ideas how to resolve that issue, I'm all ears.
Thanks.
