 I've found it necessary to toggle single server mode when using
 Apache-Test,

 I'd like to add an option for switching back to single server mode on

done.  thanks :)

Consistency is good :)

drat, I didn't read this in time.  sorry.
I suppose we can do that, but it would mean changing all of these:
  -no-httpd  run the tests without configuring or starting httpd
  -one-process   run the server in single process mode
  -run-tests run the tests
  -start-httpd   start the test server
  -stop-httpdstop the test server
while -no-httpd isn't that big of a deal since it's new, -run-tests,
-start-httpd, and -stop-httpd might be a bigger issue.  well, issue is kinda
strong, but you get the idea...
ah, I forgot that we had others as well. So never mind.
odd that legacy TestConfig arguments all have underscores, while TestRun
arguments have dashes.  maybe it's to remind you that TestConfig uses -apxs
/foo/apxs (no equals) while TestRun uses -debug=ddd (equals).  yet
another fine example of consistency in this codebase ;)
Consistency above all :)
p.s. that config vs run options syntax difference is certainly confusing

the problem is that TestServer, which controls how the server is started,
does not have access to TestRun parsed configuration options.  TestServer
has access to TestConfig options, but all of those take arguments and
persist until the next time you run -clean, which isn't desirable.
we've run into this issue before, wanting to give TestServer access to
per-run directives, but we never really had a decent solution.  this one
just adds an Apache::TestRun object to the Apache::TestServer hash at the
appropriate times, which TestServer can then use if it so chooses.  other
solutions welcome.
+1, with the style fix below:
Index: Apache/TestServer.pm

+my $one_process = $self-{run}-{opts}-{'one-process'} ? 
+  $self-version_of(\%one_process)  : 
+  '';
should be:
 my $one_process = $self-{run}-{opts}-{'one-process'}
 ? $self-version_of(\%one_process)
 : '';
