the preforked mpm will use the same old Apache::DBI

the threaded mpms will need a new version/mode of Apache::DBI using 
threads::shared, currently available only for 5.8.0-tobe, unless things 
will get backported to 5.6.2. Currently it seems that the threaded mpms 
will be safe to use only with 5.8.0, unless again things will get 
backported. Otherwise chances are that 5.8.0 will be a requirement.

Originally Doug was planning on Apache::DBIPool described in his 2.0 
overview:
http://perl.apache.org/release/docs/2.0/user/overview/overview.html#Apache__DBIPool
but since we now have threads::shared it's not needed anymore.
