I'm +1 for dropping -deps, but you knew that ;-)

No... we need some doc to help users. Looking at the users@ list has been
instructive. I really think we need 2.4.0-beta to iron out how hard it is
now for users to adopt this package, and what we have to document in order
to remedy that complexity
2 cents
Why not just do it how it has always been done, that is to include the
latest release of APR/APU(/APR-I on Win) for the httpd release? It seems
to me if I recall this correctly, that the reason there was a separate
-deps package was because APR 1.4 was not released, therefore could not
be bundled yet was required for 2.3.x at the time of release.
I know PCRE was axed and the reason is sound. APR however, is part of
ASF and maintained by most of you anyway.
The preferred needed APR & APU are all in a released state, what's the
problem bundling again?
