Changes with APR b1
+ *) Add new apr_shm_t API and remove old apr_shmem_t API. The new
+ API handles both anonymous and name-based shared memory. Anonymous
+ shared memory segments are only usable on systems with process
+ inheritance, and so the new API with name-based segments is
+ usable on platforms like Win32. [Aaron Bannert and William Rowe
+ with much help from Justin Erenkrantz and Sander Striker]
+
*) Add --with-egd to support EGD-compatible entropy gatherers for
those platforms without native support. [Justin Erenkrantz]
