Copying dev@apr.apache.org, so that the APR developers know about this.

You are 100% correct. The problem right now, is that APR was developed
with Apache. What we really need to do, is to allow Apache to find APR on
the machine, and just use a previously installed copy of APR. That would
solve this problem completely, and a side-effect would be that we could
easily have two different install locations for the APR headers and libraries.
