I think it would help except for the instructions for people not 
compiling Apache at all.  The entry says "If you're not building Apache, 
apply the patch to the apr-util ./configure script in your Subversion 
tree".  The problem is, there _IS_ no apr-util/configure script included 
in the subversion tar ball, which the FAQ entry (as a whole) implies.

To get it, I believe I'll have to install autoconf and run it on apr & 
apr-utils individually, but being that this is the wonderful world of 
not being root on AIX, I have to custom-install autoconf, and all of 
this dependencies.  This is a headache I'd like to avoid.

So is there supposed to be a configure script for apr-util included in 
the tar-ball, or am I going to have to keep plodding along the 
"try-and-compile autoconf" path?

I should double-check things before opening my big mouth (out typing 
with my metaphorically big hands).

We had downloaded apr & apr-util from the apache project's CVS tree, 
which is what requires autoconf to produce the configure script. 
Subversion's copy of apr-util DOES indeed come with it's own configure.

Sorry to bother.
