It is. It's horribly inconsistent. But APR offers a rock solid backwards compatibility assurance, unlike httpd, or autotools, or many other projects. At least, withing a given APR major.x.x cycle. But shipping APU 1.3.x means that current httpd 2.4 packages would be broken with an httpd 2.2 install. Not cool. E.g. apr-1.4/configure --prefix=/usr/local/; make; make install httpd-2.4/configure --prefix=/opt/test/newhttpd/; make; make install httpd-2.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/; make; make install Bad mojo. I'll be certain to include this issue as a second item in the vote.
