There's another regression that intersects with this same commit: We stopped 
invoking piped loggers via the shell, breaking some infrequently used features. 
  With existing APR, I could change APR_PROGRAM->APR_SHELLCMD to fix one 
regression, or change APR_PROGRAM->APR_PROGRAM_ENV to fix this one.  This one 
seemed more difficult to work-around on the part of the user.  For the long 
term I'll add APR_SHELLCMD_ENV to the invocation flavors supported by 
apr_proc_create() in order to resolve both regressions (i.e., be able to invoke 
via the shell and at the same time preserve the parent process's environment 
variables).
