I'm +1 to this sequence too (though I wasn't unhappy about breaking
the API now).

What I intend to do later today:

. minimally tweak the appropriate portions of Mr. Stewart's patch to
  add apr_socket_create_ex() to APR

. update STATUS to indicate that apr_socket_create_ex() API must be
  deleted and apr_socket_create() API must be changed (new parm)
  before APR hits 1.0
