Changes since 1.999_20:

PerlPostConfigRequire was trying to detect missing files early on,
but without searching thru @INC, causing false negatives. Better off
skipping that check and leave it to modperl_require_file() to report
problems with finding the file.  [Patrick LeBoutillier
<patrick.leboutillier@xxxxx.xxx>, Gozer]

add a perl bug workaround: with USE_ITHREADS perl leaks pthread_key_t
on every reload of libperl.{a,so} (it's allocated on the very first
perl_alloc() and never freed). This becomes a problem on apache
restart: if the OS limit is 1024, 1024 restarts later things will
start crashing [Gisle Aas <gisle@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>, Stas]

on Irix mod_perl.so needs to see the libperl.so symbols, which
requires the -exports option immediately before -lperl.  [Gordon Lack
<gml4410@xxx.xx.xx>]

pool arguments to startup and connection callbacks must be blessed
into APR::Pool and not Apache::Pool class [joes]

Make PerlSetEnv, PerlPassEnv and %ENV in PerlRequre, PerlModule,
PerlConfigRequire and PerlPostConfigRequire affect each, so a change
in one of these immediately seen in the others. [Pratik <pratiknaik
gmail.com>, Stas]
