Well, I took an axe to this today, and Maypole itself is now clear of any
dependence on Apache::Constants and the ->{ar} slot. Grab the changes from CVS
if you like. 

This should make writing a CGI::Maypole much, much simpler. It should help
with Apache2::MVC too, although that may just be CGI::Maypole in disguise. I'm
not sure.

I'm currently trying to work out what's the best way to handle form upload
data, since CGI.pm and Apache::Request handle it in wildly different ways.
Maybe I should abstract that out into the request object in the same way that
I've abstracted out POST and GET data.
