Please don't. The problem is nearly solved - I'll have a patch out for review by the end of today. As for testing, this is a fairly localized change, fairly easy to review and be confident of its effects. Additionally, it requires a change to the arguments of the APR_FIND_APR autoconf macro. It will be far less painful for external to require "find_apr.m4 from apr-1" rather than "find_apr.m4 from apr-1.0.1 or later". APR 1.0 has taken quite a while to happen - it would be a great shame to push it out the door just ahead of an important interface change. Max.
