the requirement surely helps with spam since a moderator has to

There are no such group plans, but that doesn't prevent somebody
offering up a solution to the group for consideration.

Some concerns for any potential APR feature:

* How platform-specific is the implementation? (beyond Windows vs.
Unix vs. Netware vs. anything else, is it going to take
platform-specific skills to get the code working?)
* How many people actually care?

If it takes platform-specific effort and hardly anybody cares, we're
left with interfaces that a user can't expect to work, meaning we have
unhappy users which most of us can't help.

You could always create a library which itself utilizes APR if you
think current APR features are a good match for what is required for
serial port programming.
