Then we have a conflict between the requirements of the serf and Subversion projects.

Before this patch Subversion requires a serf makefile and wants to build zlib itself.

While serf wants a pre-build zlib, and to build itself with scons, preferable before Subversion.

The out32dll directory points to a OpenSSL source location (And only to that of a DLL build, not a static build), while both Serf and Subversion document for many releases that the argument should point to an install location where the build type (Static vs Shared) doesn't matter.

Yes, your old situation may have worked, but as far as I can see not in a way that was promised to work by either recent Serf or recent Subversion.

If you put everything of openssl in the apr directories, things build ok... But we never promised that it works (and we never will).

For 1.9/trunk the dependency system is optimized to be in some ways stricter (Version checks, etc.), while in more ways relaxed: you can use output directories for all dependencies; no more source requirements.
