Would it be prudent for APR to provide a shared-memory implementation of

implementation?
Er, I'm smoking crack here or something. Of course we're already doing
it this way, I just didn't notice before. *smack*
Are there any differences between that and using a SysV shmem
implementation? I'm a relative newbie when it comes to how portable
subsystems like this are.

If you could implement a solaris-specific set of apr_shmem_* functions 
the shared-process locking
would make use of them. (ie .. replace 'mm' )
