If your environment is so different (e.g. you removed APR headers) then
you'll have problems anyway. If you are talking about a simple
environment variable change, then that variable should just be marked in
configure.in with AC_ARG_VAR. This explicitly documents that the
variable affects Subversion (in configure's hel) and it will make
configure to store its value in config.status.
Why don't you try yourself my patch for a while? =)
