i think reloading is the most sensible approach to take.  re*start*ing
might affect other parts of the site, apps, clients, etc, but reloading
shouldn't.  furthermore, doing nothing might cause problems later on
if there is a problem with the new configuration, and the admin won't
know about it until later.

of course, the apache2 package currently disregards the concept
of reloading, and restarts the server anyway, but i think we should
still call reload on principle and hope that they work that little
problem out :)

anyway, this would be a good addition to 5.1.2 in the docs i think.
