Actually, the apr and apr-util shipped with httpd-2.0.43 *aren't* out
of date. Subversion just *thinks* they are.

I recently made a change to Subversion's ./configure, whereby it runs
'apr-config --version' and 'apu-config --version' to check that both
libraries are at least version 0.9.2. The apr and apr-util shipped in
apache 2.0.43 are version 0.9.2... that version number exists within
the apr-config and apu-config scripts. But there's a bug, whereby
apu-config simply doesn't understand the --version switch. So I
patched apu-config in CVS, but that change still only exists in CVS.

I think what I need to do here is make a change to Subversion's
./configure again: if "apu-config --version" returns error, then
attempt to grep for the version-number directly in the script.

That way, when we release svn 0.16 next week, we can confidently claim
that it will work against the apache 2.0.43 release. Once apache
2.0.44 is out, we can remove our little grep-check.
