I think there is an apache bug here. This is the revision that
changed the dav_new_error API (in mod_dav.h):

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=882274

It includes a change to ap_mmn.h, but that change only modifies the
comments, it doesn't change MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER_MAJOR. Thus callers
cannot determine which version of the API to use.
