No, we will include apr and apr-util in flood releases and use them when the user doesn't specify an installed apr location. That seems to be the best strategy devised so far since apr and apr-util aren't wide-spread enough to not include them. We need to make the barrier to entry as low as we can make it. Yet, when apr and apr-util are widespread, people can use the --with-apr and --with-apr-util configure options. As the APR release strategy matures, we may finetune the process. But, I'd think the point when httpd-2.0 and SVN don't include apr and apr-util in their releases is when flood should. For now, we must bundle apr and apr-util with flood releases. > I agree, but not with changing the default from /usr/local. People will > expect it to work like that.

Fine, remove the AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT line and then add config.layout support. =) -- justin
