Six hour CVS snapshots are at: http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/apr/

But, the changes here isn't in httpd HEAD, but apr HEAD. I believe the
current plan is to include apr/apr-util HEAD with all stable httpd (i.e.
2.0.x) releases. Sander is the current .44 httpd RM, so he has final say.

Note that stable httpd will not be able to use APR 1.0 though - because the
current plan is that we're going to drop all deprecated functions at that
branch point - httpd 2.0.x will be fixed at the moment right before APR 1.0
is released.

That's going to be interesting from the Subversion perspective though. We
may be forced *not* to use APR 1.0 because httpd-2.0 won't work with it.
It's fun, isn't it? Perhaps we'll relax this policy and not drop
deprecated functions until APR 2.0, but that's an awful lot of cruft to
keep around for a long time. -- justin
