Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.  Apache is quite an amazing effort,
and considering it's being developed by a group people who are in different
places around the world, and being #1 and all, it's hardly sloppy :)
Anyway, other than the namespace deal, I'm just trying to figure out this
new io scheme.  Getting rid of rprintf was no problem.  Prior to 1.1, rather
than dup'ing and close'ing things, it was simple to hookup perl's STDIN and
STDOUT symbols straight to r->connection->request_in and
r->connection->client.  (Underneath, perl just does an fprintf)

>From a quick glance, it looked like I could just change these to 
fdopen(r->connection->client->fd_in, "r") and
fdopen(r->connection->client->fd, "w")

but, no such luck.

Any clues before I dig deeper?
Keep in mind, no fork()'in pipe()s here 8-)
