The FreeBSD API is the way it is after a collaboration with the Apache
folks. The sendfile() implementation in FreeBSD works just fine and I think
it has one of the most complete API's of any of them out there. Sounds like

If you have a point to make, then make it. I would be happy to consider
any real shortcomings in sendfile(), but right now I don't know about any.
