Ryan,
Using APR ( or beeing able to use APR when ready ) was one of the design
decisions in mod_jk, and most of the "generic" code was done using similar
"interfaces" ( with what was at that time in APR ).
We all agree APR is a great piece of code - the only problem is finding
the right time to switch to it. And having APR released and tested with
other servers ( IIS, NES, AOLServer ) is important.
One question - is it possible to build only a subset of APR ( i.e. the
set of functions that are actually used ) ?
