Yes, i think this is really usefull - i just tested forcer's cacheing
module -- seems to play nice with CHILD setup. I'd suggest to have
CHILD activated all the time  ( it's configrable anyway from within
httpd.conf).

I just removed them in my version of the code. I also changed the
TRACE(...) calls to ap_log_rerror() /ap_log_error() with the appropriate
level of warnings, so one can customize the level of debugging by changing
LogLevel in httpd.conf.

Yes, as soon as i've finished spitting up the code into several files
i want to change the gbrl-code to work as a handler module (might make some
nice example anyway).

Changed that in Makefile.in to 0644 and everything still seem to work fine.

I just started moving code arround. In the first round this is probably
mostly 'cosmetic' -- not having everything in one flat file. So far
there's a new file pair datatypes.c/x that holds all of the ADTs (req-
record, connection-record and server-record as well as tables), but this
might get split up more. As soon as i understand the module system a bit
better (maybe there might be even better support from the libguile side)
i might want to put things into their own modules '(apache table), 
'(mod-guile utils) etc.
BTW, probably more a question of coding style: i like to have as few symbols
exported as posssible. I see no reason why the mod_guile intern functions 
aren't decalred 'static' (i.e. 'request_rec_get_notes' is visible to the
linker. This is asking for trouble: see your own problems with regexp).

This will still work, mod_guile.c is the still the main file (the one
with the module struct defined).

As soon as i have finished the first round of code-moving i'll put a new
tarball on my webserver .

 Thank's
