Would this make them usable by just doing 'perldoc Apache::*' ? I think 
that's needed, becausae it's the first place anyone looks.

That's bad. Too big probably.

What we can do instead: DocSet supports .pm files. So we could get 
docs/1.0/api aliased in some way to all the modperl-1 modules, so that when 
you check out you get the Perl Module files. The problem is that these are 
very spread out in the mod_perl source tree, so it'll be hard to extract 
them correctly.
