[PATCH] Build system autoconf clean-ups

From: Julian Foad <julianfoad_at_btopenworld.com>
Date: 2005-01-18 13:56:17 CET

Here is a pair of small patches for our build system experts to consider.

The first is motivated by the ugliness of
   APR_VER_REGEX="0\.9\.[5-9]"
   APR_VER_REGEX_TOO="1\."
where the REs should not contain parentheses because they are tested with the
"expr" command which changes its behaviour when it encounters parentheses.

The patch uses "grep" to check a single arbitrary RE instead. An alternative
would be to use glob patterns instead.

apr-ver-check.patch:
[[[
Simplify the version checking for APR and APR-util: check an arbitrary
regular expression instead of two alternative restricted REs.

* build/ac-macros/apr.m4 (SVN_LIB_APR)
* build/ac-macros/aprutil.m4 (SVN_LIB_APRUTIL)
* configure.in
]]]

The second patch just resolves a simple naming confusion.

build-regex.patch:
[[[
In the build system, rename glob-pattern variables from "*_REGEX" to
"*_PATTERN" to reduce confusion.

* build/ac-macros/neon.m4
* build/buildcheck.sh
* configure.in
   Rename NEON_WANTED_REGEX and NEON_TEST_REGEX to *_PATTERN.
]]]

The last time I touched this stuff (the APR_VER_REGEX) I broke it, so I am not
going to commit these without the say-so of those who are familiar with it.
And these aren't necessary changes, just clean-ups.

- Julian

regular expression instead of two alternative restricted REs.
