I got lost, If I am using for ramdisk for obj-sh/subversion/test, then
that mount have to be setuped outside of make check, the easiest steps will
be:

mkdir -p obj-sh/subversion/test

/etc/fstab:
tmpfs /data/svntest/obj-sh/subversion/tests \
                tmpfs defaults,user,noauto,exec,size=600m

mount obj-sh/subversion/test
do config
do make
do make check
umount obj-sh/subversion/test

Definitely not (building httpd, apr, or apr-util every time). This is
why I am using ie. apr/CVS dir's timestamp to indicate if there are
changed sources.

That is true, if I am using same same install target for httpd for
every time, and when I think it, why not. Right, this will make things
a lot easier.

Well, you might hear when I start scream. =)
