public mod_perl 2.0 C API
As I was exposing mpxs_Apache_request as I needed it in Apache::Peek, I was
thinking what is the public C mod_perl API. Is that everything that is defined
in mod_?perl.*\.h and modperl_xs.*\.h files? What about the XS extensions, if
a 3rd party app wants to use a C function which is not in the core, but in an
XS extension, how does it get to that header file? Most of those things are
autogenerated with static functions, so the header file is of no use.

hmmm...
over in 1.0 land, there are a few XS macros in mod_perl_xs.h that are of
use. in 2.0, there's the C function sv_str_header that I needed to add in
order to iterate with apr_table_do, which others may find useful as well.
In general, I'd think that the majority of the C and XS stuff would be
private, with only a few really useful mod_perl functions - most of the
stuff mod_perl hackers would want is probably ap_* stuff, plus the XS macros
that make life easier.
how to design it... I dunno :)
