I should also mention here that by putting this into the buildconf stage, we are actually helping ourselves, because it means that we can reliably run APR and APR-util's ./buildconf scripts from Apache and Subversion, even if they do not live in the standard locations in the tree. Try doing that now, and you will find that you will need either a symbolic link or a full copy of APR and APR-util in the correct location during the buildconf stage.
