httpd 2.4.next will require apr-1.5.x only if using the event MPM (I doubt
that works on AIX anyway).
But many if not most will be using the latest apr and apr-util.

Does this work with apr trunk? It needs to be committed there first, then
to 1.5.x.

proxycachedir? That sounds like Apache 1.3 to me. What uses that?
