Makes sense.
Here's a question - an apache patch should be able to mark the module
as not-to-unload (although since it should be
not-to-unload-unless-removed-from-config it would be a bit more
complicated than that - still not impossible). But is that worthwhile
or should we just adjust to being unloaded if built as DSO?

Understood - good idea.
Which reminds me - the CVS instructions linked from perl.apache.org no
longer work. Is there a public CVS archive still? Where did it move?
