apr-util is somewhat split up because we moved to dynamic loading of those modules which bring in "big" dependencies, like LDAP or SQL databases. So for example, MySQL should not be a dependency to install, and neither should it require rebuilding APR-UTIL if a user having installed without MySQL later wants to use it with MySQL. Or if our future masters migrate users from MySQL to Oracle. Where's the problem with suphp? Isn't it just a matter of selecting the appropriate dependencies? -- Nick Kew
