Is there any reason why we must use either APR_LOCK_FCNTL or

wouldn't the default mutex work?
The default lock mech on OSX is sysvsem. I couldn't get it to work
properly after forking at all.
Maybe I was doing something wrong, but switching it to flock/fcntl
works pretty much everywhere, and pretty consistently works even if
a child crashes.
This brings up something else I'h hoping to add in: the ability to
change what the "default" mutex is. Many times the compile-time default
isn't right and there are loads of places we simply use the default.
Having a way within httpd/apr which overrules the default would be
quite useful...
It's on my TODO
