I have made the httpd package work the same way (APR is included, but
when building an RPM/Solaris PKG it's ignored). The Subversion v1.1.1
RPM works without any modification against the APR RPMs from the latest
APR trunk (of 0.9).

The only hassle I had was getting the DB libraries right - I tried it
first against Fedora development's DB v4.3, but APR doesn't know about
v4.3 yet, so Subversion complained that v4.2 was missing (which was
technically true). I think APR needs to be taught about the new DB
library to sort this out.

I have not yet tacked the Solaris httpd package yet, will hack at that
tomorrow.
