I've some NetWare patches which I would like to bring into APR 1.2.x which are already for months in 1.3.x; these are almost makefile changes only - the only C file touched is .\apr-util\dbd\apr_dbd.c with a small ifdef'd change for NetWare, and \apr-util\include\apu.hnw with a define. Build fixes would be terrific. Since 1.2 just was released, we -already- have an issue with Mac OS/X size detection. So sometime in the next mo or so another (perhaps final?) apr 1.2.x bump would be goodness. Hopefully we shift gears from touchup to having 1.3.0 (trunk) ready to ship; but summer is slow to get enough eyeballs on the code :) > If nobody objects I will soon start and commit these changes.... Please do!
