Woah there. I'm just talking about apr-config and apu-config. Those scripts are there to help projects find and use and installed version of APR and APR-UTIL. I don't have any problem with projects that still wish to bundle it in their own source tree, as was necessary before apr-config and apu-config existed. Bundling is, however, the old way of doing it, and not the prefered way of using APR. Therefore I don't understand why it's necessary to add support for the old way of using APR into the scripts for the new way. -aaron
