modules outside the Apache source tree. To achieve this APACI installs
the Apache C header files together with the "apxs" tool.
+ *) THE BIG SYMBOL RENAMING
+ To avoid symbol clashes with third-party code compiled into the
server,
+ the general prefix `ap_' was globally applied to the following classes
+ of symbols in the Apache source tree: Apache provided general
functions
+ (e.g., ap_cpystrn), public API functions (e.g., palloc, bgets) and
+ private functions which can't be made static (because of cross-object
+ usage) but should be (e.g., new_connection). For backward source
+ compatibility with Apache 1.2 a new header file named compat.h was
+ created which provides defines for the old symbol names and should be
+ used by third-party module authors.
