Ick.  Yep, that would explain it.  In fact, that may have been the
cause of some problems I saw when I built the bindings under Windows
(making each one a DLL that statically linked to APR, exactly as you
did).

I will annotate the issue with your findings, and am Cc:ing this
mail to the dev-list.

Hmmm, why doesn't Marc have permissions to add comments to issues?  I
thought that anyone logged in as an `Observer' could do so.

Marc, what error message did you get?

Thanks,
