Thanks Peter - I copied apr.hw to apr.h as suggested above, and the
build process made progress, but didn't quite complete. Here's where
it failed:

I can't find an apr_app.mak file anywhere, and I'm guessing it
shouldn't be looking for one. In any case, I haven't been able to
get past this error, and any help would be appreciated.
This is one of the reasons why I mentioned that the Windows make files
are broken in my experience -- I've encountered exactly the same
problems as you have and have documented the solution in the build notes
of my Lua/APR project:
The instructions about building APR on Windows don't work for me so
this is where things get sketchy: Open a Windows SDK command prompt
and navigate to the apr-util directory. Inside this directory
execute nmake -f Makefile.win buildall. This doesn't work for me out
of the box because of what's probably a bug in the APR-util makefile;
I needed to replace apr_app with aprapp on lines 176 and 177 of
Makefile.win. After this change nmake still exits with errors but
nevertheless seems to build libapr-1.dll and libaprutil-1.dll...
This is from https://github.com/xolox/lua-apr/blob/master/NOTES.md.
Together with the bootstrap script I linked to earlier this document
contains hints about compiling APR, APR-Util, APR-iconv and the
SQLite3 driver on Windows (XP) using the Windows Platform SDK.
