At this point, prefork and worker don't even have something like
HARD_SERVER_LIMIT/HARD_THRAD_LIMIT, FirstBill is going to do the same
thing for the WinNT MPM, I will do the same thing for perchild once
somebody gets the darn thing to compile/run, and I'll send a query in
a minute to the maintainers of the other MPMs asking if they want

a) to add the directives to their MPM themself, such that this issue
   is moot
b) they want me to move the defines for their MPM back to
   mpm_default.h where other user-tunable MPM defines are (but for a
   single-process multiple-thread MPM I would recommend *NOT* moving
   HARD_SERVER_LIMIT back there :) )
c) they want me to fix the log messages for their MPM that refer to
   those defines so that they point to the right file to edit
