APR questions are better suited to the apr-dev mailing list. What you
need to do with apr_inet_pton that cannot be done with other public APR
functions?

Well, I need to do what apr_inet_pton does: convert and IPv6 address
from string format to binary format. I think it would be nice for APR
to offer such functionality since Windows doesn't have anything
similar to apr_inet_pton (yes, there are ways to accomplish the task
in Windows, but they all perform network communication, which results
in performance loss).
