The following apache demo setup and changes to the existing
mod_python_handler.py script appears to work with quixote 2.0a3 and mod_python
(2.7.10 for apache 1.3).  The mod_python_handler.py should remain backwards
compatible with quixote 1.  As I consider myself a neophyte with mod_python and
quixote, feel free to improve upon it.
FWIW,
Clint
