So, apart from the complaints about apr-util, are people happy that apr RC5 is OK?
Releasing 1.0 with the known fact that autoconf-2.13 doesn't work with find_apr.m4 seems fine by me. We can release the latest find_apr.m4 in 1.0.1. Probably should document as such, or even point people at the patch - but users of the tarball won't likely be running buildconf. [If you wanted, you could include the new find_apr.m4 in 1.0 - your call.]
My only concern is that apr-util still isn't 'fixed' wrt apu-config. I don't know if I'll have time to port those changes over soon.
Perhaps we can go make APR 1.0 gold and then turn our focus on wrapping up APR-util (and APR-iconv)? -- justin
