How to make apache mempool work with valgrind?

[sc1801]

I found that valgrind is quite useful after several days using it, and
as far as I know,
to make valgrind work well with apache mempool (APR Libaray), it should
make some change in mempool source code, My question is "is there
already some APR patches to use ? and if so, where can I get it. And if
not,is someone else interested in develop one with me?"

When APR is compiled mode, the memory allocated from pools are mostly
directly taken from malloc() and hence are checked by valgrind.
Otherwise it would be nice to have some valgrind instrumentation for
non-debug builds.
