This is not hard, but it introduces even more magic to get from an APR
error code to the specific error it represents.  It is already hard
for me to keep straight how the four basic platforms use the error
space.  Recently Brian Havard had to straighten out both OtherBill and
myself on the meaning of a particular error code I was getting on
Win32.  Introducing configure-time tests to find out how the error
space will be used is going to make this even more error prone.
