My plan had been to leave this out of apache-1.3 enitrely.  I cannot see a
good reason to do this, because it requires not only that people rebuild
their modules, but potentially also have to re-write them.  With
apache-apr, ALL third-party modules will have to be considered at least
before they are re-built, because they must be thread-safe.  Asking people
who use these fields to make this change as well is minimal.
