No need to install them for now. All we want to do is install the
flood binaries with the (possibly) in-tree APR/APR-util.

That's to be expected.
The only caveat is to build flood statically - rather than
dynamically (not sure if you can do that). Yet, even if that
happens, you still need to let APR and APR-util install - and they
will install all of the ap{ru}-config files.
The proper way to get around that is to install APR and APR-util
on their own and pass --with-apr and --with-apr-util to configure.
If they use an intree APR/APR-util, this cruft is what they get.

Whatever. =)
We never released 1.0 or told a soul that it existed, so I don't
see a reason to be picky.

To be precise, I think we could change it to /usr/local/flood. But,
we shouldn't install things to /usr/local by default. As you can
tell, I refuse to use /usr/local or encourage its use in others. =)
Otherwise, looks fine. -- justin
