Ooh, that's a tough one. On the one hand, setters and getters for
uid/gid won't really be portable to systems that don't have the concept
of uid/gid. OTOH, I don't see any better way to do it (and I don't
like the idea of global vars).
+1 for apr_get_sysv_uid() (might I suggest having _set() on the end?)
