Has anybody verified that it actually works to not have srclib/apr?
It doesn't work for me.
Since buildconf is broken without srclib/apr, I first did buildconf
then renamed srclib/apr and srclib/apr-util. Configure completed, but
the generation of exports.c fails since the makefiles assume that apr
and apr-util header files can be found under srclib.
Here is what I would recommend:
a) Set AC_AUX_DIR like it was historically (assume there is srclib/apr).
b) Release 2.0.44
c) Re-integrate into APACHE_2_0_BRANCH Fred's changes to separate from
APR, though with the portability fixes this time.
