****************************************************************
The ISAPI breaks request handling into 2 stages.  The first
stage inspects the request to see if it should be handled
or ignored in the second stage.  Changes to the plugin config
were only checked in the 2nd stage.  Therefore, if you never
were getting into the 2nd stage the plugin config changes
would never get picked up.
Problem conclusion
Adjusted the plugin so that it now checks for new config file
changes in the first step of the IIS request handling process.
