Well I would have thought those identifiers are future use, but lets not

There's certainly an option, if people don't want it or it's a step
backwards, it wont go in. And this works both ways, we want people
to be happy with APR, if they're not, we try to fix whatever people
think is broken.

Yep!

Not particularly, the C should be o.k. because non-portable features are
all conditional, the main dependency would be the configure script, but
that should work too :)
