so why would this test(s) fail, then? I don't think it was exercising 1.x
compat, or was it?
it just 'use Apache::compat ();' and then tests for $CGI::MOD_PERL. We
could make sure that CGI.pm is reloaded via do()?
Why TestModules/cgi.pm need the Apache::compat part? I thought
TestApache/compat was exercising it.

What's the conclusion then?
- Put this issue on hold, resolve later
- provide MP_APACHE_COMPAT option
- merely document it
I suppose that it's possible that someone will want to enable
Apache::compat for some specific vhs and not the whole server.
