+ * This module is used to load Apache modules at runtime. This means that the
+ * server functionality can be extended without recompiling and even without
+ * taking the server down at all. Only a HUP or AP_SIG_GRACEFUL signal
+ * needs to be sent to the server to reload the dynamically loaded modules.
+ *
+ * To use, you'll first need to build your module as a shared library, then
+ * update your configuration (httpd.conf) to get the Apache core to load the
+ * module at start-up.
+ *
+ * The easiest way to build a module as a shared library is to use the
+ * `SharedModule' command in the Configuration file, instead of `AddModule'.
+ * You should also change the file extension from `.o' to `.so'. So, for
+ * example, to build the status module as a shared library edit Configuration
+ * and change
+ * AddModule modules/standard/mod_status.o
+ * to
+ * SharedModule modules/standard/mod_status.so
+ *
+ * Run Configure and make. Now Apache's httpd binary will _not_ include
+ * mod_status. Instead a shared object called mod_status.so will be build, in
+ * the modules/standard directory. You can build most of the modules as shared
+ * libraries like this.
+ *
+ * To use the shared module, move the .so file(s) into an appropriate
+ * directory. You might like to create a directory called "modules" under you
+ * server root for this (e.g. /usr/local/httpd/modules).
+ *
+ * Then edit your conf/httpd.conf file, and add LoadModule lines. For
+ * example
+ * LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so
+ *
+ * The first argument is the module's structure name (look at the end of the
+ * module source to find this). The second option is the path to the module
+ * file, relative to the server root. Put these directives right at the top
+ * of your httpd.conf file.
+ *
+ * Now you can start Apache. A message will be logged at "debug" level to your
+ * error_log to confirm that the module(s) are loaded (use "LogLevel debug"
+ * directive to get these log messages).
+ *
+ * If you edit the LoadModule directives while the server is live you can get
+ * Apache to re-load the modules by sending it a HUP or AP_SIG_GRACEFUL
+ * signal as normal. You can use this to dynamically change the capability
+ * of your server without bringing it down.
+ *
+ * Because currently there is only limited builtin support in the Configure
+ * script for creating the shared library files (`.so'), please consult your
+ * vendors cc(1), ld(1) and dlopen(3) manpages to find out the appropriate
+ * compiler and linker flags and insert them manually into the Configuration
+ * file under CFLAGS_SHLIB, LDFLAGS_SHLIB and LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT.
+ *
+ * If you still have problems figuring out the flags both try the paper
+ * http://developer.netscape.com/library/documentation/enterprise
+ * /unix/svrplug.htm#1013807
+ * or install a Perl 5 interpreter on your platform and then run the command
+ *
+ * $ perl -V:usedl -V:ccdlflags -V:cccdlflags -V:lddlflags
+ *
+ * This gives you what type of dynamic loading Perl 5 uses on your platform
+ * and which compiler and linker flags Perl 5 uses to create the shared object
+ * files.
+ *
+ * Another location where you can find useful hints is the `ltconfig' script
+ * of the GNU libtool 1.2 package. Search for your platform name inside the
+ * various "case" constructs.
