[mod_python] Must restart apache for recompile?

It may not be the prettiest, but a restart is surely the most stable way to do this. It's only a 
sighup on most systems anyway.

In a previous project, I had a "secret" reload page, that tried to flush out all my modules from the 
sys.modules list, by calling reload() for each one, something like:

for modul in sys.modules:
   if "/myapp/" in modul.__file__:
     reload(modul)

I don't recall the exact semantics (the code above probably won't really work).

As an alternative, grab the latest mod_python and give Graham's new module loader a workout. That 
ought to fix it properly.
