- I wrote a long msg but the commit didn't go through.
- So here is the short version:
- a) Start moving to binary opens in Windows
- b) Give checkuid_mode() a small face lift including the fopen-wrappers.c
- The mode to this function should at least be a #define but that is for
- another day. Anyway this whole stuff should be given more face lifts in
- the future.

SAPIfication, Episode VI: Return of the SAPI
Remove mostly all references to APACHE and CGI_BINARY from the code.

- Apache include files are no longer included by any PHP code, except for the Apache SAPI module.
- No server specific code is in any of the base PHP code.

Still left to be done:
- Eliminate any references to APACHE from the few remaining modules.
- Move request_info.c's logic to SAPI
- Modify the regex function names, and globals, so that we can always
include them, without having to fear any interference with Apache;
Always use the bundled regex library
