I agree, but it was decided long ago that apr isn't ready to be it's own
project yet. If apr gets enough support, then one day it may become it's
own project. For right now, I would suggest we move apr into the mpm
tree, in it's own directory. The repository would look like:
apache-2.0/mpm
/apr
This allows people to downlaod either one they want without getting both,
but ties apr in with the server, which means more people see it, which in
turns meeans more people help contributre to it (hopefully). This would
also make it impossilbe to download the server for the first time without
getting apr, which will at some point be essential for using the server.
Sorry about mis-understanding the original question. :)
