We include those in our release tarballs as a courtesy to users,
they're not stored in our repository, but if the directories are
present the build system will take advantage of them. In general, I
don't think most developers actually put apr/apr-util/neon there for
development purposes, personally I tend to install versions into a
special --prefix and use that for day to day development.

(This is different on windows of course, where you basically have to
have them as part of your source tree in a location dictated by the
build system.)
