That should take care of the people (like me) who keep asking "Why can't
Apache be more like thttpd?".   Can we also coax you into
proposing using sendfile() on operating systems that support it?
I'd like Apache to clean IIS's clock on static file benchmarks...

I think some versions of sendfile() interact poorly with non-blocking
sockets, so those we couldn't use it.  But otherwise yeah.
