Ok, I'll do it.

In my tests (under RH9) it is terminated properly. I suppose that
by the terminate_xsp handler. Anyway it should be
APR_KILL_AFTER_TIMEOUT. It slept through while testing the effect
of it under windows (whatever I use, the process is left there
due to windows lack of signals).

:) Well it was just an initial shot

As it messes with the fork part it should be tested under unix
too.

I forgot to mention. Under windows:

 - MonoListenAddress and MonoListenPort config options must be
set: it must be run on a tcp socket.
 - MonoExecutablePath and MonoServerPath are necessary as there
is no chance of guessing where they are located (without look in
the registry of course)

PS If someone wants a binary version of the module that can be
used with the binary distribution of apache for windows, drop me
a note.
