I should also add that our primary goal in Slash is to create and maintain
high-performance software to run Slashdot.  This is not what other
weblogs/storyboards are capable of.  :-)  Many of the hooks we make into
Apache/mod_perl are for performance reasons, and we won't take them out
just because they are not in default installs.

However, as noted a bunch of times, I don't know what hooks we use that the
defaults don't.  If we do find out what the problem areas are,
specifically, then it is certainly feasible in theory to work around them
for people who can't/don't want to recompile Apache.  I'd really appreciate
whatever specific information on this that anyone could offer.
