Is there a need to bundle APR at all?

Yep, let's draw a line under that.  APR is a dependency,
not a component.

I assume that there still is a mechanism corresponding to --with-included-apr? On a distro with bundled APR version X that httpd dislikes (or more commonly, that contains bugs that has been fixed in newer releases that aren't considered a security update for the distro) I find it very convenient to be able to install httpd without having to jump through hoops pointing out which APR devel/runtime-stuff it should use.

So, while APR (and stuff) are indeed dependencies I find --build-with-known-good-dependency-stuff very useful.
