unable to configure without autoconf
it seems you can't configure the 2.0 tree unless you have autoconf
installed... because there's no src/lib/apr/configure.

Quite true. We had this discussion a few weeks/months ago.

This has been discussed before. The general feeling has been hat
configure scripts do not belong in cvs, and developers will need autoconf
to do any work on Apache from now on.

Just about every project out there works like this. If you are dealing
with the CVS version, you are expected to have a basic set of tools
installed. autoconf, automake and libtool, for example. Of course, when
it comes time to roll a public tarball, these scripts are generated and
included in any such tarball. Putting generated files into CVS is a huge
hassle, especially when the tool that generates these files differs
slightly across platforms or between versions. You end up with a
neverending stream of commits on these files.
