As soon as you install httpd + APR in a system location, you no longer can install subversion + APR in a system location. This was the basis of getting vendor packaging files (like RPM and PKG) into APR and httpd, so that there was a system APR and packages that depended on it correctly. If the user installs httpd in a custom directory, then bundling makes sense, but if httpd is supposed to go into /usr or /usr/local then bundling becomes a big problem. APR has grown up. At some point, APR must graduate to be a "system" library, and I think that time is httpd v2.2.x. Regards, Graham --
