I repeatedly said why - I looked at all of the other broken code that
was removed with it. Almost all of the autogen.sh logic was bad and
would need to be reworked substantially to be 'proper'. Rather than
continue to apply more and more band-aids on top of broken band-aids,
I do not feel that Subversion should be in the business of determining
how to build libraries. IMO, that should be APR's job. Our build
system gets tremendously simplified in the process and I feel that's a
*huge* win. -- justin
