Win32 platform doesn't use prefork, it only uses a single process
with multithreaded MPM and that works okay, better if you have the
patches which were mentioned though.

Thus, at least with mod_python 3.X and Apache 2, you aren't restricted
to just prefork mode. If using mod_python 2.7.X and Apache 1.3 then
it would be a different matter, as that version of Apache only supports
prefork.
