apr_item_t was part of the "btable" interface which has been removed. I'd
suggest that keysort define its own structure rather than rely on an APR
structure that "happens" to match its needs.

Note that it isn't even following the semantics of the old apr_item_t type.
It is using ((key, size), data) -- associating the size with the key. But
the docs on apr_item_t associate the size with the data instead.

apr_item_t shouldn't have been used, so it seems "right" to change keysort.c
to use an SVN structure.
