Ah, the install-module is what I was missing...

(I didn't want to build from source if I could help it).

For those wanting to upgrade via this hybrid approach, on Ubuntu, these are
the steps I took:

# don't think these are needed in this approach, but I had done them earlier

sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker
sudo apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev

# install wsgi via the Python mechanism

sudo pip install mod_wsgi

# stop the server

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

# copy the old wsgi config to the new 4.x filenames

cd /etc/apache2/mods-available
sudo cp wsgi.conf wsgi-py27.conf
sudo cp wsgi.load wsgi-py27.load

# remove the old 3.x mod_wsgi

sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-wsgi

# install the new 4.x wsgi-py27.so into the apache2 modules directory

sudo mod_wsgi-express install-module

sudo vi wsgi-py27.load

And update that with the information that was sent to stdout by the
previous command.

And finally,

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

-----------
Works great.
