Ever since revision 1922, Karl and I have been having problems linking
svn (on Debian and FreeBSD). I don't think this patch was wrong, but
somehow it exposed a deeper bug.
The problem we're having: if we're building statically (passing
nothing but --disable-shared to ./configure), then somehow we end up
compiling and linking against the installed libapr within
/usr/local/apache2. This is definitely wrong: if no --with-apr switch
is given, then ./configure should always search *within* our svn
working copy for an apr tree (or library) first, then search in
external locations.
Revision 1922 simply adds /usr/local/apache2 to the list of locations
to search, no big deal:
rev 1922: kevin | Thu 9 May 2002 21:51:51 | 6 lines
Look in /usr/local/apache2 for apr and apr-util by default, since they are the
default install locations for httpd.
This allows people to just build and install httpd, then have svn's configure
find apr and apr-util automatically.

I think our m4 script is just wrong. It's looking within the bundled
apr source directory *after* the paths above are searched. Can
someone who understands our build system comment on my analysis?
