So, Gentoo has removed Apache 1.3 from Portage.  RedHat and others has 
not installed it for years.  Frankly, the only reason we have for 
sticking with 1.3 is the lack of apache_child_terminate support in PHP 
for Apache 2.

Does Apache 2 simply not provide this anymore?  Was it left out for a 
philosophical reason?  Was it just over looked?  Like it or not, PHP is 
gonna have to work well on Apache 2 at some point.  I don't like it, but 
its reality.  AFAIK, this is the only apache function that does not work 
in Apache 2.

It's simply not supported within the Apache API any more, they removed
it between 1.3 and 2.0 due to the new MPM structure where a child
process was no longer serving only one request but could be serving dozens.

With the Worker MPM by default each child serves 25 requests, so it
wasn't practical to mark something to exit at the end of a request.
