This double veto* implies that it must be 'just right'.  This is incredibly
restrictive and I'm not even sure it will hold.  If we expose the apr version#
that will only mean that ab versions are dependend on apr versions instead
of httpd versions.  Giving ab its own versioning scheme (ie, not include the
apr/httpd version number) is a bad call IMO.  That will require apr developers
to bump the version of ab when they touch anything used in ab (not cool).

Well, I'm -1 on the current situation.  I have the feeling most people
want to keep ab in the tree, which implies reverting the change.

*) The second one is a given.  That's what we had; we always had different
   version numbers.
