If we have in-tree apr and/or apr-util, we should try them first,
where "try" means see if they satisfy whatever version requirement
Subversion has.

The fact that APR is under development doesn't matter -- the fact that
the user put it in the tree is sufficient indication that the user
wanted to compile against it. (They should be able to ignore it by
using --with-apr=foo, of course.)

Do you agree/disagree with any of this? (And if agree, can you make
the patch do it? :-) )
