Personally, sometimes I install them into system locations, sometimes
I install into some random directory in my home directory. In my home
directory tends to be more common, as I tend to install multiple
different versions of APR, partly because I need to test svn with
them, partly because I'm also an APR developer.

I imagine those would work more like a unix install, although I
haven't actually done that sort of build personally, so I'm not sure.
