I disagree. We're not forced to ship anything. And while we're at the
subject, I get more and more APR 0.9.x vs Apache 2.2 (ie APR 1.x)
compile problems on #svn. So, I'm in favor of not shipping anything
and make people look at their systems to find the right APR to link
against instead of using a default which gets us into trouble more and
more often.

BTW: Binary compat only counts on systems which already *have* APR and
- presumably - we're not including APR for those systems!

Erik.
