Different APR Directories
After the discussions last week about this topic and the best way of
accomplishing it, I thought I'd raise this with everyone.
Basically the solution should
- allow for any directory to include common files from another directory
- keep the number of files in the "different" directory to a minimum
- keep the ability to use "make depend"
Brian's original suggestion would have created more files than I'd have
liked, and my original idea would have stopped make depend from working.
The solution? Modify Brian's idea by having a single file that contains
#include's for all the files from the common directory.
For example,
O/S newos needs a different poll implementation, so it creates the
network_io/newos directory. In that directory it creates a poll.c,
default.c and Makefile.in. It adds the necessary to configure.in and when
configure is run the system looks for and finds the Makefile.in and so uses
the newos directory (this we have already).
This strikes me as being a nice easy balance between ease of use and
flexibility without sacrificing anything we already have.
Thoughts?

Brian,
I've just noticed that what you've done in the time/os2 directory. If you
simply remove the Makefile.in then the os2 directory should be ignored and
the unix files will simply be built. The change to allow this happened
about 10 days ago and works well for beos in both the time and file_io
directories.

I've just thought of a downside of this approach. It makes the #included
modules indivisible at link time because all their code is in the default.o.
EG if I take this approach in the misc directory the getopt code will be
linked in whether it's used or not.

OK, well then that sounds like an agreement and this is the method we'll
use.
