<H3>Implementation</H3>
<P>The DSO support for loading individual Apache modules is based on a module

-Apache core. It is the only module besides <CODE>http_core.c</CODE> which
-cannot be put into a DSO itself (bootstrapping!). Practically all other
-distributed Apache modules then can then be placed into a DSO by individually
-enabling the DSO build for them via <CODE>configure</CODE>'s
-<CODE>--enable-shared</CODE> option (see top-level <CODE>INSTALL</CODE> file)
-or by changing the <CODE>AddModule</CODE> command in your
-<CODE>src/Configuration</CODE> into a <CODE>SharedModule</CODE> command (see
-<CODE>src/INSTALL</CODE> file). After a module is compiled into a DSO named
-<CODE>mod_foo.so</CODE> you can use <CODE>mod_so</CODE>'s
-<CODE>LoadModule</CODE> command in your <CODE>httpd.conf</CODE> file to load
-this module at server startup or restart.
