Hrm. Not sure that I understand the "lose access" part. What I was thinking
is a function that looks kind of like:
apr_status_t apr_mmap_from_file(apr_file_t *f, offset, length, flags,
apr_mmap_t *mm)
{
return apr_mmap_create(mm, f, offset, length, flags, f->pool);
}
It might be possible to compute the flags from how we opened "f", so we can
lose an extra param to apr_mmap_from_file().
