|  - Decide how the backend can write to the config files and signal the
|    server (does this have to be a separate server with setuid scripts -
|    yuck - or can we get something like a Unix-socket interface to
|    Apache?)

the only thing you need to be root in order to do is to kick (SIGHUP)
the server in order to restart it.  that can be accomplished in a few
lines of C code.  you may want to add some security stuff to it (like
how often we can kick the server and who gets to kick it).

|  - Add API functions so that the backend configuration process
|    can _automatically_ pickup directive syntax and usage information from
|    Apache rather than have to be hard-coded with directive information
|    (which may change depending on which modules are compiled in).

that was a very good idea.
