I've already added this for our various support binaries: --enable-static-htpasswd ... I see no reason why we couldn't do the same for httpd. I agree that it may make life easier for binbuild users, but I'm totally against doing this always, if not merely for the fact that we're trying to make APR a standalone library. -aaron
