Hi all, I wish to propose a new library for apr-utils.
I've been working on many different projects, and there was almost no one that didn't need some kind of user intervention. One of the obvious ones are the 'config' files. The other is using Perl or shell scripts just to alter the few lines of some 'makefile' or 'include'. Well neither Perl or shell is available on the all targeted platforms, so we are (more or less) using different scripting technologies on each platform that we support. I'm not speaking here about apr or apr-util building process itself. I'm using Lua (http://www.lua.org) for some time, and found that it's stable and MOST of all portable. The language itself is build to be the embeddable an in it's 4.1 alpha version is around 200K in source size, and it doesn't use yacc, or whatever LARL. I have the working Lua interpreter bounded inside apr that uses only apr*.h to compile, and uses apr_file_* interface instead FILE. The Lua licence itself is IMO acceptable to ASF.
