Agreed.

I'd like to pop APR 0.9.1 out the door (or see somebody do it), then
replicate the various logic bits over to apr-util and release that.

Once done, then we can "detach" httpd from the floating APR(UTIL) stuff.
Specifically, since httpd uses the FIND_APR m4 macro, it can find a
pre-installed APR rather than always using the bundled one.

The hardest problem is that httpd uses m4 files from APR. That means that
APR *must* be present at srclib/apr/ when somebody runs 'buildconf'. After
that, we *might* be able to toss srclib/apr, but I doubt it. I bet there are
still quite a few paths into srclib/apr/build/ for Apache's build system.
(but then again, I haven't looked... maybe when the FIND_APR work was done,
everything was switched over to use the "found" APR rather than assuming
that APR was placed into srclib)

Regardless... from a *tagging* standpoint, we should stop tagging APR(UTIL)
with httpd tags. When we bundle releases, it should be done using three
tags: one for httpd, one for apr, and one for apr-util.
