I know that some systems (still) ship aprutil-0, which my current autoconf
scripts don't grok; and pcre.h is sometimes in a subdirectory.
I'd need some autoconf wizard that knows what he's doing ... I'm just playing
around with that.

Is there some authority (like with debian) who could build a package for all
CentOS4.5 users?

Thank you very much; do you have a step-by-step explanation (with system
details), preferably in HTML, so I can publish it? Or can you add additional
checks in configure.in? I'd be happy to include them.
