Currently, error messages are returned in apr_dso_handle_t->errormsg when 
APR_EDSOOPEN is returned (see apr_dso_load).  It's up to the app to figure out 
what it wants to do with it (i.e. call apr_dso_error()).  All of the other DSO 
mechanisms store their error strings in here.

Is it possible for HP-UX's DSO's error to be captured in a string rather than 
forcibly sent to stderr?  That would be a much cleaner as all of the other 
Unix-based platforms already support this - so adding a flag just for HP-UX's 
BIND_VERBOSE option doesn't help as no one else would likely need it as they 
have sane mechanisms for handling this.  -- justin
