I don't like the feature of selecting a default mechanism if the
"AcceptMutex foo" directive is invalid.  I think the admin should get
the same feedback she'd get if she miscoded anything else.  I'm not
accustomed to Apache continuing to initialize if a directive is
miscoded.

Yea, I think I agree.  Think of the Siteminder on Solaris bugs we have in the bugs
database.  Netegrity tells their customers to use SYSVSEM. If they screw up the
AcceptMutex setting, they will not notice the config problem until their server falls
over. Not cool.
