Has been APR initialized?

Hi all,

Is there any way to know if APR has already been initialized? I'm
working on two modules that use APR, and I'd like any of this to
initialize/terminate APR in case of need.

Thanks in advance,
Antonio

Ah, so there's no harm in initializing APR several times. Yes, I think a 
short note in the docs should clarify that, I guess.

Thanks,
Antonio

Just call apr_initialize/apr_terminate in each modules. Only the first 
call to apr_initialize and the n-th call to apr_terminate will do 
something (if apr_initialize has been called n times). I guess this 
should be made clearer in the docs.
