mod-status

[Cliff Woolley <jw...@wlu.edu>]

I'm working on some patches to mod_status for (at least) my personal
use that I think might be useful in general, so I thought I'd see how
amenable to this you all would be for incorporation into, say, 1.3.11. 
What I'm adding is the ability to sort by certain columns (host, vhost,
cpu, ss, etc), so that the new things show up at the top of the list. 
Another useful item is a <A NAME= tag at the top of the big table so
that when you're doing a ?refresh you don't have to scroll down to the
listing every time it refreshes.

Thoughts?  Should I just keep this as a personal customization or do
you think it would be worthwhile to submit the patches to the group when
I'm done?

Thanks,
Cliff

mod_status has changed drastically between 1.3 and 2.0.  My own opinion is
that changes like this are better left to 2.0.  These changes aren't
really going to affect if people can use the mod_status in the 1.3 tree,
and adding them to 1.3 just means we then have to port them to 2.0 later.
I would rather see little changes like this left to 2.0
