Martin:

I'll let others respond to the thread, but I'd just like to point out that 
there is a fallback - the libs tarball which will include the currently shipped 
libraries in our tree.  So we just need to add some intelligence into our 
configure/build system to auto-detect this...

Cheers,

Bernard

Folks,

 this is certainly not what I wanted to kick off ... If we go that way,
what about:

RHEL4/5
CentOs
SLES
FC5
Ubuntu
???


 and the Mandriva stuff is completely outdated.

 I am just wondering whether splitting of apr/expat/libconfuse is
really a good thing.

 Looking a bit broader at www.rpmfind.net:

apr/apr-devel: varies from 0.9.4 to 0.9.6 for RedHat and Mdk. No SuSE.
In 3.0.3 we moved from 0.9.5 to 0.9.7, because that fixed bz #87. Is
0.9.6 enough? I don't know and I do not really want to test it. So that
means we require 0.9.7 which is not available anywhere out of the box.

expat/expat-devel: varies from 1.95.1 to 1.95.8 for a lot of distros.
Seems we can safely assume its availability everywhere.

libconfuse: old version for MDK and now 2.5 for FC4 :-) Not a very wide
coverage.

 Hmm. Not really convinced.

Cheers
Martin
