apr_is_option_set / apr_set_option / netmask
hi!
why aren't basic bit manipulations being done directly? the function call
overhead is enormous compared to the operations being performed.
also... when i saw the field named netmask i kind of assumed it was a
network address mask, which is usually what "netmask" refers to. why does
it appear to be a bunch of flag bits instead?

I am about to commit a patch that turns those functions into macros that
do the same thing.

I am leaving the netmask alone, because I haven't looked at it before.
Feel free to make the names better though. :-)
