This is a usefull suggestion. I am not sure though if we could accidentally
remove a apr-config belonging to another apps install (if you install in
/usr/local, you might be sharing it, me thinks). Ideas anyone?
What you could do is install in a special directory. I personally
always use --prefix=/opt/svn for subversion and --prefix=/opt/httpd
for apache. If you want to blow everything away, simply rm -rf /opt/svn.
Simple but effective. If you stay up to date you'll feel that you
wont be blowing anything away for long periods of time (months).

As long as everyone keeps that in mind (the pre-alpha part), all is fine.
