Cool.

Not sure what you mean here. I don't quite understand how threading comes
into play. apr_file_t and apr_mmap_t can't be used by multiple threads,
AFAIK. And I don't think they should either...

Hrm. It would have been really nice to use apr_pool_is_ancestor(), but I
could see a case where you have disjoint pools:

      A
     / \
    B   C

And you're trying to transfer ownership from B to C.

Why is this APR_DECLARE'd now? And why the function rename?

In fact, doesn't this change the cleanup to a pascal-style function, and
thus not able to be used as a cleanup callback?

For the two dup() functions, you can use apr_pmemdup() to simplify this.
