I think the only thing you can do is to iterate over the items and
check each one. That should be OK for a small number of locks, but
obviously doesn't scale well. To do better the locks probably need to
arranged in some sort of tree, either by changing the type of the
elements stored in the hash or by replacing the hash.

One possibility is to combine the simple iterative search with removal
of the apr_hash_t from the public ABI, i.e. put the hash into an
opaque structure and provide accessor functions. That allows a
relative simple fix to get ra_dav working now, but allows a more
sophisticated lock storage system to be introduced later.
