Independent of the latter, I think there's still
a reason to use Apache2, rather than mod_perl,
in a Makefile.PL PREREQ_PM. If someone installs
mp2 with MP_INST_APACHE2=1, then
perl -Mmod_perl
will fail (as mod_perl.pm will be under Apache2/), whereas
perl -MApache2
will be OK. Since at the moment CPAN.pm (and I also
believe, CPANPLUS) don't use Apache2.pm to adjust @INC,
they won't see a mp2 install with a PREREQ_PM of mod_perl.
