A number of people have asked for a way to access the raw post data. I
was going to do this in 3.1, but if you need it now for PDF, let's get it
done now.

Yes, there are both per-httpd and per-request init and shutdown functions.
They are defined in th php3_module_entry struct. Have a look at something
like functions/mysql.c. The MySQL module has all of these except a
per-request shutdown function.
