We attempt to recurse into test in Apache and apr-util to clean them up.
Neither directory builds anything by default.
[ we discussed this aspect last week ]

I had no idea that we didn't even ship them, though! That doesn't feel quite
right to me. No opinion on Apache, but on APRUTIL, I'd like to see that
testdbm gets shipped because it is actually a nice little tool for creating
and inspecting *DBM files.
