[resending, this time to the current dev@ address instead of tigris]
This change has caused an issue that I've marked as a 1.7.0 blocker:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3930
"build system assumes that APR libtool supports C++"
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
I think this is quite release critical because it means we don't
compile on some platforms anymore where 1.6.x used to compile fine.
I am currently testing if a backout of r876227 will help.
