On Apache 1.3
SIGHUP was a graceless restart
SIGUSR1 was a gracefull restart
SIGTERM was a graceless shutdown
SIGKILL was essentiall a graceless shutdown.
Apache 2.0 should have the same signals do the same thing, but SIGUSR1
doesn't play well with threads on some older versions of Linux, so
SIGWINCH is replacing SIGUSR1.
