buildconf: allow configuration without APR sources
Previously we required copying the APR (and APR-util) source code into srclib or some other location on disk in order to build httpd directly from source. This is annoying if you're on a distribution that already has the required files in its APR dev packages. Practically speaking, if you're not building an official distribution tarball, you only need the following files: 1) config.guess 2) config.sub 3) find_apr.m4 4) find_apu.m4 5) PrintPath 1 and 2 come from automake. 3 and 4 are included in some distributions' (e.g. Debian's) development packages for APR/-util. That leaves PrintPath, which has not changed meaningfully in over a decade and is checked in completely here. Passing an apr-config executable to buildconf's --with-apr option will now enable a mode in which the above files (minus PrintPath) are copied from their respective homes, removing the need for APR sources on disk. Otherwise, if a source tree is passed, the current behavior is retained and all of the above files are copied from APR directly. git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/trunk-buildconf-noapr@1780441 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68
