Release:

    * Usability: Sanitize the MPM config directives.  MaxClients in 

      the threaded MPM is totally misleading now as it has little to

      do with limiting the number of clients (it limits the number

      of child processes). Bill proposed nomenclature change to

      something like "StartWorkers, MaxWorkers, etc." that could 

      apply to most all the MPMs (with some notable exceptions).

      Bill would be happy with changing MaxClients to MaxServers

      to make it agree with the operation of the StartServers

      directive.

RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:

    * mod_tls is very specific to OpenSSL. Make the API calls

      more generic to support other encryption libraries.

    * Performance & Debug: Eliminate most (and perhaps all) of the 

      malloc/calloc/frees in the bucket brigade code.  Need some 

      light weight memory management functions that allow freeing 

      memory (putting it back into a memory pool) when it is no 

      longer needed. Enabling simple debugging features like guard

      bands, double free detection, etc. would be cool but certainly

      not a hard requirement.

    * Eliminate unnecessary creation of pipes in mod_cgid

    * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the
