No can do.  The API isn't equipped for that.  Pools always use the same
(standard) allocator*.  The allocator was exported to allow other parts
of APR to benefit from them (bucket allocators).  Abstracting them for
pools would mean a severe performance penalty (and it would bring us
almost back at our sms design).
