I'd prefer you don't commit this, *yet*. I agree the build

I agree.
And your specific solution does not lend itself to being maintained,
particularly by the unix hackers in the room :-/
By anyone IMHO.
Question; do we want to adopt (finish adopting) svn's build
system coded in python?
I certainly would like to, yes.
If we can get to a point where .dsp, nmake files, and all the
rest can even be generated on unix
(still, a dos-style .zip thrown up on /dist/apr/), this would
all be goodness.
Yup.
