I did a bit of work a couple of months back to decouple the portion of the scoreboard 
that
is used for managing the child processes from the statusinfo.  Never quite got to the
point of figuring out how to collect info for mod_status but this is definitely the 
right
direction to go in.   I agree with Greg, Dean and Ian.
