Opinions?
As a Subversion developer, I would not like to see more useless libraries in the output of `apu-1-config --libs`. apu-1-config doesn't ignore unrecognized options, so we couldn't unconditionally pass --avoid-dbm option. I also think that the syntax of argument of --with-berkeley-db option of Subversion's configure script is logical and appropriate :) . -- Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
