I think this should be handled in the buildconf script. The apr-devel package
puts find_apr.m4 into /usr/share/aclocal (check "aclocal --print-ac-dir"

Something like libtool allows to run executables linked to just-built
libraries. Maybe.

But I think the hardest issue is the modules sources are scattered across many
directories and the just-built module DSOs too. Tests should have to be
smarter in locating them.
