I believe if you build apache with the 'with_shared_core yes' option, you
can then use apxs as usual to create dso modules. Then load them at run time
with 'LoadModule' in your apache configuration file. It's been a long time
since I did that, so I hope I'm giving you correct information.

For those who want to lose the benefit of consistence and integrity checking
with RPM, they can use 'with_shared_core yes'.

For those who want to lose the benefit of run time module loading, they will
have to rebuild apache each time a new module is needed.

You can't have both flexibility and integrity in this case, so choose one.
