AIUI, Autoconf duplicates these, no?  If not, I generally agree, however
you didn't look sideways with this proposal, for example,
strings/apr_strings.c:#ifdef HAVE_STDLIB_H just to name one example.

And I also wouldn't agree with including process.h to every consumer of apr,
adding new system headers to apr.h needs strong justification.  Adding this
under the arch/private generic header would be fine, compilers are fast enough
these days that it shouldn't be a colossal hit on build time.

Which could happen with 2.0 but not 1.x - anything more specific about how to 
avoid
these collisions/load order issues for 1.x?
