This is Rasmus' patch but only enabled on platforms where it's known to work. Applies to HEAD: the apache2handler SAPI builds and loads a shared extension OK like this on Linux/i686. It looks like some people preferred a configure flag for this and some preferred to do it by default. Consensus?

    It needs to be optional.  Otherwise, the DSO cannot be shared
    across multiple independent Apache instances (which is the
    main reason this has not been enabled for years).
