This is my second cut of the Announcement:

- based on my first version

- merged in text changes of Jim's version
  but keep the "+/-" style because I really think it's
  better and more quickly to read then appended asterisks

- replaced relative filenames with real URLs to make the
  users even more happy, but trimmed the URLs to fit into 80 cols
  via taz's Multiview.
  (BTW: We additionally could apply a
        s:dist/apache-1.3b6/htdocs/manual:docs:g
        Comments or votes?)

relevant aspects of dynamic shared object (DSO) support in Apache 1.3.  My
hope is that this information makes the DSO stuff more clear to those not very
familiar with it. And I hope my written down information is correct... ;-)

- renamed remaining os_ stuff in os/unix/ and os/bs2000/ to ap_ variants
- merged the ap_dso_xxxx non-HPUX-specific #defines
  and the HPUX-specific functions
- moved the FreeBSD-underscore hack from mod_so (where it was badly placed
  because it is a low-level stuff) to the dlsym() call in os/unix/os.c
  (where is is placed better because _there_ is the os-specific stuff)
- some minor cleanups to os.h
- additions to compat.h

today figured out that their proprietary shl_xxx system calls are very close
to the dlopen-style interface. And because our os/unix/ stuff already provides
an abstraction layer we now can provide DSO support for HP/UX by emulating the
dlopen-style interface while not changing anything inside mod_so ;-)

it wasn't permitted.  This avoids dereferencing a null pointer.

Hmmm... well, it looks like some people would like the capability
of having PrintPath look not only in PATH for an executable (makes
sense) so I've allowed PrintPath to look somewhere else. With this,
TestCompile becomes a bit simpler, and faster when TestCompile
fails since it now longer needs to muck around with the whole PATH.

Have TestCompile use PrintPath to get around those platforms that still
create executables with link errors. In those cases, the binary
exists but isn't executable, so testing -f isn't good enough.
However, -x isn't portable :/  PrintPath handles this, so we use
that.
