The Microsoft-ism for "as a module" would involve using the ISAPI filter
thingie.
The first "I" in ISAPI stands for IIS, so I have no reassurance that it can
be done with PWS at all. Even if you *can* do it, you'll probably have to
edit the registry or something equally gnarly, since PWS is pretty
bare-bones.
You *could* switch to Apache which is way mo' better than PWS...
