FWIW, I'd be fine with replacing all ints with apr_int32_t in places
where we interact with apr_array_header_t and similar. Widening
promotions to int would be automatic, and narrowing conversions on
16-bit platforms would (presumably) make compilers yell very loudly.

The only reason /not/ to do that is marginally worse performance on some
64-bit platforms.
