1) Integrate test.pm in Test.pm. I think we should bundle Apache::Test with future versions of mod_perl to make the maintenance simple and remove the original Apache::test from it.

Rename the distro Apache-Test to Apache-TestHarness (or else) to avoid confusion.
Looks like if we can provide a clean implementation of (1) that's would be the best solution. Randy says that it shouldn't be a problem with winFU. If David says that it's cool with MacOSX, let's try to take this route then.
It's much more likely that someone would install 1.27 over an Apache::Test installation on Mac OS X than it is on Win32, apparently. But if you were to release 1.28 with the new integrated Apache::Test, it probably wouldn't be too much of a problem. You might want to post a quick query to macosx@perl.org to get a general feel from the Mac OS X Perl community.
If an old mod_perl 1.0 is installed and it overrides Apache::Test, Makefile.PL will simply fail to satisfy the requirement of a specific version (because Apache::test's version is smaller than Apache::Test's).
However taking again this track of overriding test.pm, we may still have a problem in the following situation:
root installs mod_perl 1.27 system-wide, user installs Apache::Test locally (can't unlink Apache/test.pm), this can be a problem if user's @INC are added after the system-wide ones. But that would be silly, isn't it?
If we are sticking with this track, we need to figure out the way to make sure that Apache/test.pm is nuked. David, if Apache-Test includes Apache/test.pm and Apache/Test.pm is it ensured that any other occurance of Apache/test.pm will be nuked?
