It's a little rude to release (even unofficially) a package that clobbers 
official files - i.e. my apr and apr-util packages. I see that you have 
mentioned it briefly in the README, but that's fairly easy to overlook.

Really, you should be linking apache against my apr/apr-util packages, and 
pinging me for an update if they are not recent enough.

Anyone attempting this should check:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29740

And hopefully bug the httpd developers into applying my patch.

Max.
