Yes, this is great.  I wanted it today when trying to debug IPv6.
(Incidentally that now seems to work on Linux and at least compile on
other interesting platforms; comments welcome.)

I'll apply something like Jos's patch, with a modification to not
create another bloody global variable but instead stick it in an
options struct.

People who work with Apache should try the mostly-undocumented -X
option, which tells it to not detach and also not fork on incoming
connections.  For debugging that's even more useful.
