event MPM status in 2.2

[Joe Orton <jo...@redhat.com>]

The event MPM is listed in the "new features" document for 2.2, which 
rather implies that it should work and is to some degree supported; yet 
configure will issue the doom and gloom messages about the code being 
incomplete and that nobody should use it except developers wishing to 
improve it.  (since it's in server/mpm/experimental still)

So... which is it?

Well, the primary reason it is still in experimental, from my 
perspective, is the lack of mod_ssl/HTTPS support.  If we could get that 
fixed, I would be +1 for making it non-experimental.

If you use it for non-SSL connections, it works great, and we shouldn't 
be spreading much gloom or doom messages about that.

So, maybe we should change the configure script for 2.2.1?
