Hi folks,

Hi folks,
I'm currently porting the whole httpd stuff (starting w/ apr) to
unitool (http://unitool.metux.de/) to solve the endless crosscompile
problems w/ autoconf (AC_TRY_RUN ...).
The first step is to replace all AC_TRY_RUN()'s by unitool
queries (http://unitool.metux.de/index.php/System_properties),
so we have an standardizes and consistent database.
My current patches can be found at:

As I said on the PR: I don't really see what this gains. You can build
a "standardized and consistent database" of cache variables to support
cross-compilation, without deviating from standard autoconf macros. The
hard part is still building the database, not the interface to the
database.
