Enough to provide all the standard functionality, but not to do any fancy tricks. One of the ideas was to have a more intuitive namespace for Apache emulators. The suggestion was to introduce a new namespace ApacheEmu:: or similar. So yours will be ApacheEmu::Request and David's Apache::Table emulator, will be ApacheEmu::Table, etc. The logic is that all these modules do not require Apache to run and therefore shouldn't be in the Apache:: namespace.

I think this repackaging is what raised the interest of a few mod_perl developers. However, at the moment, there is nothing new here.
