Building Perl 5.6 with -DPERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT breaks just about every
program that uses the Perl C API.  DBI, Storable mod_include, and mod_perl
1.23 are all unable to compile with this build flag.  Bummer.

I skimmed perldelta and perlguts to see what was what.  It was pretty easy
to fix Storable by adding dTHX wherever the compiler complained about
my_perl being undefined.  But the way I read perlguts, couldn't we build
perl without -DPERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT and just #define it in the mod_perl 2.0
sources?  That way, we could have an efficient mod_perl, but not have to
hack on every module in CPAN.

I think.
