[PATCH] O_NONBLOCK flag to apr_file_open

[Ryan Morgan <rm...@covalent.net>]

APR seems to be missing the O_NONBLOCK flag to apr_file_open.  This
means that calls to open on named pipes will block until the producer
has opened the pipe for writing.  Is this intended?  I have no idea
how this works on win32, but a patch for unix is attached..

We actually removed that option specifically because it wasn't portable.
:-(  I think this will fall out in the wash with the named pipe redesign
however.  If the namedpipe_create function returns a handle to the pipe,
then we can be sure to open that handle as a nonblocking operation.
