Release APR 1.7.3 ?

[Ruediger Pluem <rp...@apache.org>]

Is someone opposed if I put an APR 1.7.x release for vote on the beginning of next week?
It would be my first APR release, but I think I should be able to do it with the instructions in release.sh (thanks Eric).
Otherwise I will ask here for help.

We had a regression in apr-1-config that is now fixed and we have some nice fixes / improvements for Windows.
I know that people think of releasing 1.8., but another 1.7 release seems to be the lower hanging fruit.


Regards

Rüdiger

+1, the atomic64 changes are worth shipping ASAP too.
