-APR Stackable Memory Code
-=========================
-
-This is just a small list of things yet to be done, or things
-that we may want/need to consider.
-
-- add a shared memory module.
-
-- locking needs to be addressed.  The scope of the locks needs
-  to be defined and it's likely we'll need some way of
-  varying the scope when locking.
-
-- given the problems that can occur when trying to find 
-  alloc/free problems we should probably have a special debug
-  memory system that records everything it does and any
-  other information we think is useful.
-
-- in addition to the debugging system, we need to look at
-  methods of checking memory allocations to ensure we're
-  behaving when we have the ASSERT_MEMORY flag turned on.
-  The pools in 1.3 had code from dean and Roy, Greg has added
-  some special stuff for pools under Linux on 2.0, so we just
-  need some ideas
