I'm a bit undecided whether to port some changes between APR and

branches.

I think forward porting is fine, this wasn't much more than an mkdir,
right?

You removed running autoconf to create configure:

Sorry, I should have read more closely before sending.

autoconf is a packaging tool.  Not a build too.  This didn't belong in Makefile,
since it's simple enough to have small timing issues when checking out or 
unpacking
files from an archive, which triggers such innocuous looking statements.

Forward porting would be terrific;

OK

does this issue even exist on 0.9 branch though?

Yes:

All branches are identical to the version before your change.
