Maybe we should reconsider the whole idea of timedlocks??

And besides, isn't the project called Apache *Portable* Runtime?
Back when we started it this project, the idea was that if
Platform Foo lacked a function we "needed", APR would provide
it, not simply willy-nilly say "Nah, ENOTIMPL!". Sure, maybe
it wasn't the "best" implementation, but we tried. That
whole idea was to have each system/platform have some level
of *parity*. Have we reversed that?
