With r1491887 reverted I now have all tests passing when using
httpd-2.2 (yay! that makes me much happier), and with httpd-2.4 I only
have the expected failure plus one of the sets of Windows-specific
failures (protocol/echo_block.t, echo_nonblock.t, echo_timeout.t &
pseudo_httpd.t).

That would be acceptable for release (I really wasn't happy with a new
release breaking 2.2 support...) so I think we'll have to revert
r1491887 for now, and then I'll get merging stuff back to trunk after
looking at that remaining group of failures again.
