I'm re-submitting the patch (attached). It contains fixes to make sure the
executable projects link to the correct library names. For static builds of
APR and APR-UTIL, it will find the libraries without the 'lib' prefix (e.g.
apr-1.lib). And for dynamic builds of APR and APR-UTIL it will look for the
versions with 'lib' as a prefix (e.g. libapr-1.lib).
Let me know if this is an improvement! Keep the code reviews coming!
