Hi,
Attached is a not applied patch that I already submitted a while ago.
It fixes some of the documentation on how to port the modules.

These should now be renamed to better signify where they sit in the overall process. So the name gets a small change from mmap_init to mmap_post_config. The arguments passed have undergone a radical change and now look like
-- ap_context_t *p,
-- ap_context_t *plog,
-- ap_context_t *ptemp,
+- apr_pools_t *p,
+- apr_pools_t *plog,
+- apr_pools_t *ptemp,

-Throughout Apache the old pools have been replced by the ap_context_t, though their use remains remarkably similar.

Data Types
A lot of the data types have been moved into the APR. This means that some have had a name change, such as the one shown above. The following is a brief list of some of the changes that you are likely to have to make.
-- pool becomes ap_context_t
+- pool becomes apr_pools_t
- table becomes ap_table_t
