IfModule symbol extension Backport request (PR: 29003)

[Edward Rudd <ed...@omegaware.com>]

I just applied this patch to the Apache_20_branch and the code applies,
compiles, and runs cleanly (only tested on linux RH 7.3).  I'm puttingthis
up for a vote to be applied from cvs head to the 2.0 branch.  twothings
still need to be test, the compile on Win32 and the compile on Netware.
they should compile fine, but a test is always a Good Thing.

I've attached a cvs diff from the 2.0 branch.
Here are the HEAD CVS revisions where the changes took place

configure.in (rev 1.260)
build/build-modules-c.awk (rev 1.9)
os/win32/modules.c (rev 1.17)
os/netware/modules.c (rev 1.9)
server/core.c (rev 1.280)
include/http_config.h (rev 1.110)
modules/mappers/mod_so.c (rev 1.57)
modules/mappers/mod_so.h (rev 1.1  New File)

I actually asked Eddie about the possibility to get this into 2.0, as my
DUMP_MODULES stuff relies upon his IfModule Changes.

I see your point nd, but it would be nice if I knew when these cool
features would make it into any stable branch. (ie a 2.2 ROADMAP...)

I'm -1 on it, sorry.
We should not try to backport all stuff, just because we can. 2.0 is *stable*.
So the only things that are backported, should be bug fixes or important/not
workaroundable features.
I'm considering the <IFModule> extension just as a new feature. For 2.1.
