+1 to apr 1.4.

Never noticed such problem when using *apr-util* 1.3 apart from 
mod_session_crypto of course is not buildable. Since apr-util 1.4 is 
pretty fresh, I would prefer not to strictly require that.

But the first release of apr 1.4 was in April 2010, so IMHO long enough 
to get used to it. Whoever wants to build httpd 2.4 on an outdated 
platform shouldn't find it to big a problem to include apr into srclib. 
The biggest problem might be educating users and formulating 
installation docs clear enough.

Never tried to build with *apr* 1.3 myself.

Rainer
