Uh, sorry, if you're doing your own build scripts, then you're pretty
much on your own ... especially as the list of files you have to compile
will differ from platform to platform. For any one partiular platform,
"nm" or local equivalent will tell you (almost) all you need to know.

AFAIK no-one has ever compiled a list of minimal required sources from
APR; doesn't really make sense, we just recommend a particular set of
apr(-util) versions.
