well, I kinda agree.  however, in apache 1.3 land users did have the option
of running mod_perl _after_ C handlers.  in fact, I can remember at least
one person who specifically asked to make mod_perl run _after_ a C trans
hander, kind of like a fallback.

of course, that was possible in 1.3 with ClearModuleList and/or shifting
mod_perl lower in in the configuration order at compile time.  so, making it
a compile-time option is kinda making it like it used to be.  at least
that's my thought at the moment :)

I don't think it's impossible, but I think it will be hard - we'd basically
need to change the nOrder value in the each hook structure at some point
then call apr_hook_sort_* manually.  I might be able to do this when some
directive is parsed or it may need to be a request-time operation - I can't
be sure without trying it first.  but the whole thing gives me the willies,
and I feel like we'd be introducing some magic that might add some
instability for very little value.

but stay tuned :)
