The simple fix to (2) without breaking anything is to retain the

defined as above. That would of course be an extra entry on the
end of the apr_dbd_driver_t struct.
Can we really do that? Adding an entry to the end of the
apr_dbd_driver_t struct will change its size, and it's defined in a
public header file, so I think that might be against our versioning
guidelines, strictly speaking...
Hmmm, really? Retain both source and binary compatibility but can't
release?
How about if we make a trivial change now by adding
APR_DBD_VERSION_PLACEHOLDER /* reserved for future expansion */
at the end of the struct? I'm just thinking how many slots to
reserve. If you're happy with that, I'll do the deed.
