Where could APR and APR-Util be?

1) In-tree. This is the case for released tarballs.
   srclib/apr
   srclib/apr-util
   Builder may still want to override.

2) Installed on the system. Httpd should not depend on in-tree APR or
   APR-Util at any level. The buildconf script of httpd should
   gracefully deal with absence of in-tree APR and APR-Util. Httpd's
   ./configure has to point to APR and APR-Util, or find in
   usual location (/usr/local/apr, /usr/local, /usr, ...)

3) Unbuilt source tree in arbitrary directory. These have valid
   ./configure scripts. Httpd's ./configure has to point to APR and
   APR-Util and roll with it.

4) Checked out tree in arbitary directory. Httpd's buildconf script
   should point to APR and APR-Util source trees and run their
   buildconf scripts. Resulting httpd ./configure should inherit APR
   and APR-Util locations.

5) ...

Please comment/embellish.

Thanks,

S.

Trying to scratch a personal itch tonight. I'd like to build my checked out tree against a checkout of {apr,apu}, which sit somewhere else on my system. As far as I can tell, this is currently not possible. I tried to point buildconf to my working copies: it borks. The following patch to buildconf (also attached) unborks: cross_compile_warning="warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross compiling" I'm simply removing the hardcoded references to srclib/ap{r,u}. However, this is only part of the fix: httpd's configure also needs to know where to find apr and apu. Perhaps there's more, deeper down. I have to meditate on my m4-fu before I attempt this, but first I'd like to run the use cases by the community. Yes, that's you.
