One thing that does nag at me (and I've had no joy getting answers
from the mod_python list so far) is whether a 2.4-compatible version
of mod_python will be possible.

Python 2.4 will be built with the MSVC 7.1 compiler/CRT, but (AFAIK)
Apache is still distributed in binaries built with the MSVC6
compiler/CRT. So it's not clear to me which CRT mod_python should be
built against...
