Hi,
Attached patch allows to build apr-util with system provided libexpat on
OpenSolaris.
On the machine, there is a expat.h and libexpat.so.* in /usr/sfw/include
and /usr/sfw/lib. But there is no .a or .la file.
It should not be required to have a .la file, not to mention a .a file.
.a is, afaik, an archive file for static link.
Attached patch use AC_CHECK_LIB to ensure a library can be found, and it
uses a for loop to look into potential folders, currently I put lib and
lib64 in there.
Cheers,
Henry
