elements by just loading the appropriate plugins to mod_transform.

obsoletes last patch.
this one adds a filter_init so that plugins can hook into there, too.

patch changelog:

1) adding new hook, called post_config, you may guess when it gets invoked
:-)

2) you can now pass arguments to the plugin to be passed over.

example:

TransformLoadPlugin yacs-core --host=localhost --port=7001

The plugin itself now gets - just like main() - an int argc and const char
**argv which contains the arguments being passed. argv[0] also contains the
plugin-name (here "yacs-core") for homogenousity ;-)

this can be catch by either plugin_init or by the new post_config hooks
which both let you early abort the server startup but only plugin_init
lets you abort on checkconfig (due to apache2's underlaying logic!).

Christian Parpart.
