The "real" fix is to turn apr/helpers/mkdir.sh into a autoconf
macro named MKDIR(). In general, when something depends on
another package, I tend to work around problems and add
a FIXME note. Then when it gets fixed in the other package
I go back and remove the hack. But, I can fix it in apr
now if that works better.

Humm, I am note sure what is going on in that dir:
INCLUDES = -I../include $(APACHE_INCLUDES)
I am not sure where this APACHE_INCLUDES comes
from. At any rate, it did not seem to build
anything on my system (no .o files) so
I guess I never ran into it.

Is there some special configure flag one needs to set to
build this subdir? If it does not get built by default, it
is not wonder the code does not get tested.
