None of the install docs cover this, but it's pretty simple.  You
know that you can pass arbitrary APACI args to the apache build
process using APACI_ARGS, right?  Add something like:

  APACI_ARGS='--enable-module=so'

(Or add --enable-module=so to your existing APACI_ARGS argument
to Makefile.PL).  This will build mod_so into your httpd, which
you can then use to load other modules.  You can also add
--enable-shared=modname to your APACI_ARGS; if you do
--enable-shared=all be sure to also add a --disable-shared=perl.
