This is Justin's suggested logic from an earlier thread, with some minor tweaks.
Applying this patch to the 2.0.45 tarball allowed binbuild.sh to create a binary distribution on Linux. Prior to this change, apr configuration would bail because it didn't support a layout called Apache. apr-util had the same issue.
We just got our first PR on this, so I've committed it to 2.1-dev, suggested it for merge in APACHE_2_0_BRANCH/STATUS, and mentioned the patch in
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.0.45/
(My apologies to Justin in case he disagrees with the way I put his code to work.)
