Hm, I think only the client

Yup, mostly. It had some nasty problems when I tried, but I believe 
they have fixed all of them now.

Yeah.

That fits in with the rest of the story, sadly. They do supply 
OpenSSL libs, but no headers. Same problem :/

What would that package do exactly, besides installing that header?

Hey would that work, exactly? System-apache I mean? We can't just go 
in and start modifiyng the system's apache, so if you wanted to make 
a mod_dav package that builds a current version of mod_dav, you can't 
just put it under the nose of the system's Apache. In fact I think it 
might require of apache itself. Doesn't sound to well to me.

But if you have a good idea on how to do it, I am open to hear it! 
I.e. I don't want to discourage or prevent you from trying.

You didn't mention the db4 issue yet :) What is it?

Yeah. However, I am not sure if that apr snapshot is also included in 
their source repository? last time I checked, they basically told you 
to use the snapshot only to "bootstrap" the latest version of 
subversion from their repositoy.

I think I wrote this in a previous mail - you can determine the 
libtool version from ltmain.sh. Fink only updates the 1.3.5 version. 
1.4 and newer should support OS X out of the box.
