mod_so should be compiled statically into Apache (cannot be built as
a separate .so module itself) to actually load DSO (.so) modules.
If you build Apache on UN*X, unless you specify --enable-shared=...
in configure, it'll just compile in all modules you added with
--enable-module=... statically. If you compile PHP --with-apxs,
which is the easiest way to do it, it'll create a DSO file
(so you won't have to recompile Apache - just add it)
and you'll gotta have mod_so compiled in to use it.
Win32 versions are usually downloaded precompiled from
www.apache.org, and those precompiled versions are built with
maximum stuff as .dll (ala .so) modules, so mod_so is
compiled in there obviously.
