My understanding is that currently no-one is working on it because
dynamically loading objects scares people.

Now that Brent has his new Configure.pl in place, it might be worth
patching that to "find" new PMCs just like it finds new .ops files.

Also, to answer one of Ask's questions from earlier, the way to get
something like this

get_remote_ip P0,S0

would be to hack a method into apache.pmc and then make apache.ops to
call the method.

Currently I'm doing things like this

set_keyed S0,P0,"get"
set_keyed S0,P0,"remote_ip"

which will become

set S0,P0["get"]

with the new assembler (I think)

show of hands, should I take the few hours to make a .ops file and
start expanding the PASM language with get_args S0,P0 ?

Thinking about it more, yes, this seems like the way to go.  I'll work
on it tonight after work.
