Yes, but PHP will not take advantage of that in the near future. Right
now, and probably at least till the end of 98, the API will maintain
compatability with Apache 1.2. Apache 1.3 provides a compatability header
file with the necessary definitions (compat.h), which Apache 1.2 modules
can use to be compatible with both Apache 1.2 and 1.3.
