> The apache.import_module() method only reloads a Python module if the modification
 time of the file on disk is newer. This means that if one restores an old version o
f a file from backup, eg., by using "mv" command from another location, it will not 
rel
oad it and it is necessary to touch the file or restart Apache.
> The check in apache.py, instead of being just:
>   if mtime > oldmtime:
> could perhaps be:
>   if mtime != oldmtime:
> I don't believe this would cause any wider issues, but might be due some t
hought first.
> The various settings of mtime and oldmtime above that in the code, ie., to 0 or 1,
 will also have to be reviewed to ensure this change doesn't break anything.
