What you're talking about, I suspect, is the equivalent of mod_perl's 
ChildInitHandler, which is run once when the Apache child instance 
first starts up. mod_ruby doesn't (yet) have such a hook.

I've had some success with putting initialization code in a spot that 
runs when the file is first required, but it'd be nice to have a 
ChildInitHandler, too. Would it be difficult to add, Shugo-san?
