The problem is that although Apache::Request _HAS_ to be a DSO, the
contained libapreq has to be a static library and also statically linked
_INTO_ the DSO of Apache::Request (Request.so). There seems to be some
support for this in Apache::Request's c/Makefile.PL but I was not able
to get it running quickly now. Please investigate how we can force
Apache::Request to keep everything as is but build only a libapreq.a
_AND_ link its Request.so against this libapreq.a only. That will solve
the problem and is our usual trick to resolve those mixed shared/static
environents...
