I'd like to comment on why I did it as part of the build step, rather than
as part of the buildconf or configuration step:

  OtherBill just nuked apr_canonical_error from APR. But it was still
  sitting in my apr.exports. Therefore, exports.c contained a reference to
  the (now non-existent) function and the compilation barfed. By placing
  this into the build itself, and including a dependency on the *.exports
  files, I was able to tweak apr.exports to remove apr_canonical_error,
  exports.c was regenerated automatically, and then rebuilt. Contrast this
  with needing to run buildconf or configure to pick up the change.

I hope that makes sense...

(and yes: that AWK script from Brian made this process damn fast! woo!)

Cheers,
