The original plan had been, I believe, to use the -D command line argument
to Apache. However, we don't actually set environment variables with the
-D stuff, so that doesn't work. We could just check our own env table,
the one we set with -D, but if we are going to do that, then why didn't we
just stick with -X and use -N for no_detach?
I really haven't made up my mind about how I feel about using the env
vars. I was just following the move from -X to ONE_PROCESS when I
implemented the NO_DETACH stuff.
