RE: current 1.3.1 testing

Ack - my knowledge of apache modules grows very thin at this point - when
apache is started it doesn't call a module init before it spawns children?
There is a 'master' httpd process, that pid should be extractable, if only
by checking the parent pid of the process that the module is running in...

Of course, if the module may in the future need locking between individual
instances within apache, as well as to external instances of cadmin and
other utils, perhaps SysV semaphores/shared mem might be appropriate
(although not available on all systems that people might like to run a
current server on)?
