mod_parrot 0.4

From my journal:

I'm pleased to announce that after 2 years of hiatus and 6 months of 
coding, mod_parrot 0.4 has been released. It's been worth the wait, as we 
now have working mod_perl6 and PHP proof-of-concepts, per-vhost
interpreter pools, the framework for a more comprehensive test suite, and 
even 64-bit support. You can download the full distribution at 
http://www.smashing.org/mod_parrot/dist/mod_parrot-0.4.tar.gz. The 
comprehensive list of changes is below. Enjoy!
