* Fixing Apache->warn("foo")

  Report: http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl-dev/noxtramcay/3D11A4E5.6010202@stason.org
  Thread: http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl-dev/noxtramcay
  Status: pending Apache::Log compat issues, this and other methods
          might be dropped.
----

* The Apache::Scoreboard XS implemenation with tests is awaiting to be
  committed

  Status: waiting for Doug's review

  Status: 

Needs Patch or Further Investigation:
-------------------------------------

* pluggable <Perl> sections have been implemented but need a default
  handler to actually convert the Perl code into apache config
  [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org> is working on one]

* Apache->httpd_conf compat method mapping to Apache::Server->add_config

* directive handlers are supported but need some work for 1.x compat
  - Apache::ModuleConfig->get needs a compat method mapping to
    Apache::Module->get_config

  - Apache::CmdParms::info for CmdParms implemented by Perl modules

  - Apache::CmdParms::{GETC,getline} needs compat mapping, similar to
    what Apache::Directive->as_string does, but one char or line at a time
  
Open Issues or Core Enhancements:
---------------------------------

* PerlPreConnectionHandler's modperl_callback_pre_connection is not
  implemented

  Report: 
  Status: ???

----

* Apache::Log compat issues:

  Apache->warn, Apache::warn, Apache::Server->warn and
  Apache->Apache::Server->log_error are all doing:
     s = modperl_global_get_server_rec();
  and this function is thread safe only during the startup.

  possible solutions:

  1) enforce that these functions are used only at the server startup

  2) require +GlobalRequest, which gives us r->server, now thread
     safe (though slow).

  3) drop them all from the API and move to compat. 
     [remember that Apache::warn is needed for registry scripts to
     override warn()]

* we need a bug reporting utility that can be used post-install, which
  should be similar to t/REPORT
