we can get away with it because Perl never passes lfs related structures
to extensions. so the sizeof(struct stat) for example can be different
inside core Perl without causing problems in mod_foo land. unlike when
mod_perl is compiled with lfs flags, the sizeof(struct stat) is larger,
which changes the sizeof(request_rec), which is passed between apache and
mod_*

php has simply fixed their apxs cflags filter to include any ^-D flags,
nothing specific to lfs. i will need to query apxs for lfs flags if
USE_APXS=1 and turn them back on in mod_perl if present.
thanks everybody who tested!
