1. We've really got to die on ./configure, not make, when we are asked
   to --enable-ldap where apr-util wasn't built with ldap.  That's bogus;
   ./configure should describe anticipated problems, not later on.

2. Something's wrong with detection of ssl, even when I explicitly asked
   for /usr/local/ssl it's picking up /usr/sfw and I'm not yet sure why.
   (Both paths are passed, outch!)

3. We currently abspath the APR_UTIL_LIBS entry for
   /path-to/srclib/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la,
   but that seriously breaks my AIX vpath builds.  I can guess we are
   trying to avoid picking up libexpat elsewhere in the -L list, but there's
   gotta be a better way for ordering this, and make it consistent

4. The libtool configs are pretty hokey.  apr-util properly dereferences the
   apr libtool, why don't we do the same on our builtin expat?

5. Also hitting another abspath issue when trying to build apr-util and it's
   going for the absolute apr.la, working on that when I go back to AIX
   tomorrow.

Finally vpath + symlink builds were broken, there is a set of patches
over on http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/ named fixbuild-n.n.patch where
-n.n is -2.0 & -0.9, -2.2 & -1.2, and -2.3 & 1.3 for the corresponding
httpd and apr-util versions.  The patches;

 * ensure we don't look for srclib/apr*** directories, but simply the
   file contained within.

 * avoid looking from apr-util to ../apr, since on symlinked environments
   in solaris this can be erronious.

 * ensure we don't bomb on vpath builds looking for .h files in both the
   source and vpath target trees (because they don't exist in both).

 * properly check if we are vpath'ing for apr-util/xml/expat, creating that
   directory in the vpath target, and introduce the syntax --with-expat=builtin
   to resolve the ambiguity that vpath builds of the builtin expat introduces.

 * never configure apr-iconv from apr-util.  Since we won't configure apr
   from apr-util this was inconsistent.
