You've been using the source tarball, right? Well, you have to remove
apr and apr-util from that tarball, and get the Windows sources that
come with httpd. That's all in the build instructions.

Wrong. You should get the apr-iconv source instead. SVN will not work on
Windows without apr_iconv.

Yes, it does, at least on Windows. The necessary changes to the build
scripts that would make BDB optional on Windows haven't been made yet.
