Use serfmake instead of the autoconf-based system.

$ ./serfmake install

If apr-1-config and apu-1-config aren't in your PATH, use
--with-apr=/path/to/apr - if they are present, serfmake will just work(TM).

If you are building from a checkout and using ./buildconf + ./configure
(instead of serfmake), then you need apr and apr-util source to grab the m4
macros - but httpd has the same source requirements. (And, when I cut a
release, you won't need to run ./buildconf either - ./configure is enough.)
