Thanks for the mention, but I doubt that would tell RoUS anything he doesn't
already know!  Bindings for scripting languages get mentioned only in passing
in the book, and the detail goes no deeper than "mod_foo has foo bindings for
HTTPD API and APR so you can do much the same things in foo as in C".

I don't think APR would make much of a book on its own.  Sure, you could
expand on what I wrote, but only up to a point, so you'd want some context
for it.  Scripting might make just such a context if you can make a case that
APR adds value to existing scripting language libraries other than in a
specific context like HTTPD.
