-X in recent httpd-2.0 builds (somewhere in the 2.0.22 series, I
forget) has the end result of setting -DONE_PROCESS and -DNO_DETACH
for all current MPMs. So, just setting -X is sufficient to have one
process that doesn't detach. (As a side note, you could use -DDEBUG
instead of -X, but -X is the historical debug option in httpd.)

Our intention is that -X can be picked up by any modules to indicate
that httpd is running in "debug" mode. So, for example, mod_dav_svn
could do special things when -X is specified.
