I agree that is the "right" solution, it is just that getting the
APR folks to fix "creative" uses of autoconf is like pulling
teeth. At any rate, here is a patch to fix the subversion

2001-03-17 Mo DeJong <mdejong@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Rename --with-debug and
        --with-maintainer-mode to --enable-debug
        and --enable-maintainer-mode.
