It ain't gonna happen.  The API that exists in 2.14/2.16 is rapidly 
going away.  We can probably agree on something for 2.20 and forward 
that will be persistent, but the stuff in the older versions (globals.pl 
and CGI.pl are glaring examples) are not mod_perl compatible and will be 
going away as soon as we can make them do so; so API compatibility 
between 2.20 and 2.16 is probably not a possibility.
