This goal is in the STATUS file as a showstopper, but it has been decided
that it isn't really a showstopper.  While I agree with you (obviously,
I'm the one who added it as a showstopper years ago), the reality is that
very few people have been interested in writing tests for APR, which is
why every new test generally finds more non-portable bugs in APR.

If we waited to have a full test suite, at the rate our test suite is
growing, it would take 10 years to really be ready to release 1.0.  :-(
