As of windows 2k the os keeps a "double secret" registry
of system files using a hash code of the contents as well
as a digital signature that includes the version info, so
I'm not so sure that simply renaming the library is enough
to freak it out but I don't see the value in re-naming things
unnecessarily. I use mod_jk and I didn't have to re-name the
thing.
