Thanks for taking care of this.  For my part, I think your patch is appropriate
for the next RC and in turn for 1.0.  It establishes an Autoconf API that should
serve APR well.  I have included a few technical suggestions.

(Regarding whether to make the arguments to APR_FIND_APR mandatory, I don't have
a solid opinion.)

You could have used an m4 conditional and ``errprint'' to raise this error at
autoconf-time.

What is that @&t@ business?

Would this make more sense as follows?

case $apr_bundled_major in
     0)
        apr_temp_apr_config_file="apr-config"
        ;;
     [[:digit:]])
        apr_temp_apr_config_file="apr-$apr_bundled_major-config"
        ;;
     *)
        AC_MSG_ERROR([failed to find major version of bundled APR])
        ;;
esac

Again, thanks.
