Hi,

I'm looking at the implementation of apr_pollset_wakeup(), and if I'm 
reading this correctly, if APR_FILES_AS_SOCKETS is 0, we only implement 
funciton for Windows and OS/2. All other platforms just return APR_ENOTIMPL.

But. Is there any reason why there couldn't be a generic implementation 
for these other platforms, using a socket chasing its own tail on the 
loopback interface, or some platform-specific local domain socket (the 
OS/2 implementation does this)?

I realise the platforms that are currently not covered are not exactly 
major, but it I also can't think of a reason for this incompleteness.
