   It is not a problem with the module, but with Apache. When I compiled
Apache on Linux and Solaris in DSO mode, I tried to make my module (along
with PyApache and some other 3rd-party modules) DSO - and failed. Later I
looked into apache's Configure script, inserted a lot of debugging there...
It seems apache handles 3rd-party modules a little different, so it was
hard to make it DSO, but finally I managed to do this! I do not rememeber
exact steps. I think I did this the following way:

   ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/pcgi2/libpcgi2.so
edit src/Configuration.apaci and replace AddModule with SharedModule
edit src/Makefile and remove shared modules from MODULES macro
   make && make install && some tweaking with httpd.conf later...

Oleg.
