dedicate some time to the effort it if I better understood what the relevant issues are for mp2, and what course of action you guys are taking/considering.
I believe the whole issue is relatively trivial: We need to take all the functions that both mod_perl and APR libs rely on (that's the missing symbols you've got reported when you tried to load APR::Table w/o mod_perl.so being loaded and others used by other APR::* modules) and put them into a separate .[ch] files, so both APR.so and mod_perl.so can include. We already do that for modperl_constants.c, you can find a copy of src/modules/perl/modperl_constants.c as xs/ModPerl/Const/modperl_constants.c. So we just need to copy these new *[ch] files into xs/APR/APR and arrange for build and inclusion of it in APR.so. And unless I've missed something it should just work. APR.pm and ModPerl/Const.pm already make sure that they won't attempt to load APR.so and Const.so if mod_perl.so is already loaded.
Notice that modperl-2.0/t/apr-ext files exercise the APR-w/o-mod_perl already (at the moment it is only possible for some APR:: libs).
So if there is an urgency to resolve this issue now, we can do that.
Please notice that there are known problems with linking APR.so on some platforms, I believe only Solaris was reported so far. Since I don't use Solaris and nobody has volunteered help so far it's unresolved and t/apr-ext tests fail on that platform.
