I looked at the APR code to get some ideas for the Win32 port.  Some of
the ideas were good, but in other places like rename they didn't do very
well we were better off doing it ourselves and getting it right.

I remember looking at their code to fix the rename/unlink while the file
is open problem, and they didn't seem to have a fix for that so we
developed our own method that works like Unix.
