Now you know why we needed to go through the mechanics of a release. =)

The fix, of course, is to extract stuff to apr and apr-util (no version numbers and in parallel).
of course, it can't be that simple ;-)
once i do that, apr configures just fine, but apr-util bombs out with a syntax error in the configure script:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/apr/apr-util-0.9.1 ] ./configure
./configure: line 1278: syntax error near unexpected token `APR_CONFIG_NICE(config.nice)'
./configure: line 1278: `APR_CONFIG_NICE(config.nice)'
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/apr/apr-util-0.9.1 ]
adding --with-apr=../apr-0.9.1 does not seem to help.
It has to do with autoconf hardcoding the apr path in configure via AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(../apr/build) in configure.in.
yeah, i figured it was something like that, since it was the only place i could find that path hardcoded.
What we may need to do is to create an apr-build module that allows us to store the config.guess/config.sub/install.sh/mkdir.sh files that we can force all projects to check out locally rather than having their own local (potentially stale) copy.
Thoughts? But, somehow APR-util needs its own local copy of these files, but I'd rather see us consolidate them somehow. -- justin
a separate apr-build project certainly seems like the best solution to me. i'd love to see it possible to build apr-util separate from apr (meaning apr is already installed on the system, as opposed to the current state of afairs where you pretty much have to build them both at the same time).
