-X in recent httpd-2.0 builds (somewhere in the 2.0.22 series, I
forget) has the end result of setting -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH
for all current MPMs. So, just setting -X is sufficient to have one
process that doesn't detach. (As a side note, you could use -DDEBUG
instead of -X, but -X is the historical debug option in httpd.)
Our intention is that -X can be picked up by any modules to indicate
that httpd is running in "debug" mode. So, for example, mod_dav_svn
could do special things when -X is specified.

For most people, yes. However, -DNO_DETACH does have its uses as you
can test the fork()ing of the MPMs. This allows you to spawn the
children processes but still allow the processes to be attached (i.e.
connected to gdb). Very good for checking out POD stuff.
However, I doubt that the SVN people would be too worried about
the proper functionality of the MPMs. If you see a problem, just
kick it over to dev@httpd. =) -- justin

Thanks, Justin.
So does this mean that -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH are obsolete for
most practical purposes, and that one would really only ever want -X?
If so, I'll remove that bit from INSTALL...
