We don't want people to do a "cvs up", get a skewed APR, and then submit bug
reports to this list. We are shipping with a specific APR and a specific
Neon.

And you say "for developers" ... but this tarball is not for us. It is a
distribution tarball. I have never seen CVS dirs in a distro. Including them
may set the wrong expectation ("hey, I can get a newer APR"), which could
backfire on us.

Note that we should also be referencing a specific Apache, too; possibly
providing a tarball of that one.

[ and note that we can/should tag the httpd and APR trees ]
