mod_isapi commited

Well, I commited  mod_isapi. A couple notes, though:

1. I added some code to reject the request with a 413 if the request body
   is more than 48k. This should be changed to a better solution when we
   figure one out, but I figured I shouldn't commit it without doing
   something about the fact that, as it was, there was a very large DoS
   attack possible.

2. I've discovered something odd. When I compile Apache with the Debug
   settings (debugging symbols, no optimization), mod_isapi works
   fine. But when I use the Release settings (no debugging symbols,
   optimization), it crashes whenever I access an ISA. I assume that I've
   screwed something up that only gets brought out by the optimizer, but
   I can't figure out what. Anyone who wants to figure this out, please
   feel free.

I feel relatively good about a 1.3a1 release either this evening (PDT) or
tomorrow. Anyone have any thoughts?
