There's a well established group of 2.0 users out there (pre-ASF). We would all love to see them migrate entirely to 2.2 but that never happens overnight. I think the best solution is to either add apr_match_glob to apr 0.9 (no rule against it) or to clone it as match_glob.c which would devolve to nothing. Once this is merged in-tree (if that happens) - all of the version-specific stubs can go away. But I don't think we are quite at that point. Bill
