The apr[-util] location stuff is copied from those projects. The Subversion stuff tends to behave like --with-neon, look at --with-swig and --with-gssapi. It doesn't seem like an important thing to change, and like any build change it risks breaking obscure platforms. You are using "test -x" and I see that find_apr.m4 explicitly avoids that on OS/2. -- Philip
