As before, +1 to this separation.
If we get lots of negative feedback from users, we can revisit this;
but let's really try this for 1.4.0.

For 1.4, I would bundle:
APR 1.2.7
APR-util 1.2.7
neon 0.25.5 (as we don't support 0.26.x yet in 1.4.x)
zlib 1.2.3 (this is a new required dependency in 1.4.x)
Now that httpd 2.2.x has been in general availability since December,
I think it's time that we upgrade the deps we bundle to APR 1.x. APR
1.x has many more bug fixes that we know folks are stumbling upon
(LFS, etc.). And, httpd 2.2.2 bundles in apr/apr-util 1.2.7.
As I believe I mentioned in an earlier thread, I would say that we do
not change the dependency tarball in a given release branch. That is
- the 1.4 dependencies are fixed at those versions. We will only
change them in the presence of a major flaw with Subversion (unlikely
at this point) or a security vulnerability in one of those libraries
(possible). For 1.5, we may decide that we want to change this
bundle...
