Changes with Apache 2.0b1

  *) Update some of the docs in README and INSTALL to reflect some of
     the changes in Apache 2.0 [Cliff Woolley <cliffwoolley@yahoo.com>]

  *) If we get EAGAIN returned from the call to apr_sendfile, then we
     need to call sendfile again.  This gets us serving large files
     such as apache_2.0a9.tar.gz on FreeBSD again. [Ryan Bloom]

        For some of the support scripts like `apxs' or `dbmmanage'
        (which are written in Perl) the Perl 5 interpreter is required
        (versions 5.003 and 5.004 are fine). If no such interpreter is
        found by APACI's `configure' script this is no harm.  Of
        course, you still can build and install Apache 1.3. Only those
        found by the `configure' script this is no harm.  Of
        course, you still can build and install Apache 2.0. Only those
        support scripts cannot be used. If you have multiple Perl
        interpreters installed (perhaps a Perl 4 from the vendor and a
        Perl 5 from your own), then it is recommended to use the
        --with-perl option (see below) to make sure the correct one is
        selected by APACI.

     Use the --enable-suexec option to enable the suEXEC feature by

     Use the --shadow option to let APACI create a shadow source tree
     of the sources for building. This is useful when you want to
     build for different platforms in parallel (usually through a NFS,
     AFS or DFS mounted filesystem).  You may specify a directory to
     the --shadow option into which the shadow tree will be created.
 
     Use the --quiet option to disable all configuration verbose
     messages.
 
     Use the --verbose option to enable additional verbose messages.
     
     Use the --server-uid option to specify the user ID you want the
     server to run as. If not specified the server will run as user
     nobody.  If the user ID specified is different than the ID of the
     user starting the server, you need to start the server as root.

     Use the --server-gid option to specify the group ID you want the
     server user ID to be a member of.  If not specified, the group ID
     will be #-1.
