This series of patches allows apr to be built using MSYS and MinGW, but only
with CFLAGS=" -O0 ". Compared with tests using MS VC++ builds, only the dso
functions appear to have problems specific to msys builds.

Curiously, the results differ when testall is run from msys rather than CMD.

In a lovely coincidence, Davi Arnaut posted patches to bug 33490 (APR does not
compile with Borland C++) whilst I prepared the series for submission.
Libtool
-------
Something to be wary of .. msys installers may have installed libtool 1.4e
$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4e (1.1162 2002/11/22 22:36:25)
Re-running autoconf with libtool 1.4e will complain with:
configure.in:186: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
To resolve this, download libtool-1.5 from the mingw project files, and unpack
it so the m4 files are in the aclocal directory; usually /share/aclocal/ or
/share/aclocal-1.7/
