I was leaning that way as well for consistency with apr_pstrcat().

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that.  I recall the discussions on that front
from a while back... didn't Greg mention that he had such a beast in use
somewhere (Subversion maybe)?  Anyhow, it's a great idea and I'm all for
it, but it will take a lot of work and some pretty widespread changes to
put it to use, so an apr_pstrlencat() seems like a reasonable quick
fix/stopgap measure to me.
