(The ap_custom_response() API is busted and needs to allow (FORCE) the
caller to pass in the content type/charset to associate with the response
text.)

You can pass a URI to ap_custom_response (as on the ErrorDocument directive)
to redirect error requests to a special uri space, and implement a handler
for those which can control the response more fully.

(Hopefully there are some better ideas out there.)
