yes, we've discussed both of these options on the dev list, so you can check
the archives for all the issues (look for something about dynamic hook
ordering on dev@ and httpd-dev@xxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx).  basically, for it to work
dynamically across all platforms we need some changes in httpd, so you
wouldn't get that in 2.0 for sure.  and I'm not sure that compile-time
options are the best recourse.

but I feel your pain - the entire hooking mechanism leaves knowing users
without a "shuffle" option, and that isn't very nice.
