Apparently nobody is against it.

Ah, yes.
Sorry, I should have replied earlier - I deliberately did not apply
those changes, because those two files are not actually maintained by
the Subversion Project - they are actually maintained by the APR
Project, and copied into Subversion from the APR and APR-util source trees.

I've started to apply this.
I assume the extra quoting introduced in the patch around the outside of
the AS_HELP_STRING invocations is just following general autoconf
guidelines? Or is it fixing something in particular?
