sure, but not everybody using registry relies on using '.' in @INC or
open "./foo";  @INC is easy to solve, just adding cwd to it for that 
request.  open, exec, system, etc., that rely on '.' seems nasty to fix.
users could change code for example, from:
open "./foo";
to:
use File::Basename;
my $cwd = basename $0;
open "$cwd/foo";

that'd work with both modperl and cgi.

the current module names should stay.  in part since the 1.x stuff will 
run with 2.0 if Apache::compat is loaded.  a wrapper might be nice, but 
i'd rather wait a bit to see if people actually complain about have to 
change Apache::Registry to ModPerl::Registry in the config file.

the compat goal has always focused on keeping 1.x _code_ running in 2.0.
having to change config files is acceptable.
