A quick look at APR reveal that it doesn´t provide all OS abstraction that a

I tend to disagree with you. The only thing the APR doesn't offer is
GUI abstraction.
There are no functions to mark pages as executable,
Like Garrett said, those functionality was not needed.
Not sure if it can be added in a portable fashion to APR or
if this should be kept as separate lib.
scalable IO facilities (IOCP, epoll, kqueue, etc...) or workarounds for
small diferences on syscalls or libC implementation.
Take a look at:
jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jni
It uses APR in a way the Sun does for it's low level I/O.
On windows, APR currently uses select, but we are discussing to use the
IOCP for quite some time. On other platforms, either poll, epoll or
kqueue are used.
