FYI... After mulling it over a while and changing my mind a couple of
times, I think I prefer the patch below to a patch in APR. APR has a
bigger problem to solve in general (not just stat()/lstat() differ in
their semantics but also open()). That problem can't be solved
without extra syscalls. Also, most applications don't even care.
Any comments before I commit?
