Anyway, ran this live at a customer who is working with AIX5, AIX6 and AIX7.

Good news: the package I had built on AIX5, Power5 ran (Syntax test OK) on
AIX 7.1 on Power7.

Less good news: ./configure did not work using gcc (they had a very old one
installed) - embedded apr reported many errors and would not "make".

Learned something new about APR - a package only works in the same kind of
environment. To my surprise, even though configure was finding xlc as a
compiler with my vac v7 it returns "cc" as the compiler - so when I tried
to get past the embedded apr compile errors - configure failed again - as
cc != gcc and configure said it could not create output.

Anyway, until I play with gcc on AIX - not having the scripts is probably
safer for 2.2.22 considering it's status. Anyone coming to the devs mailing
list will be able to contact me for assistance, should that be so desired.
I shall continue looking for ways to resolve this - but now I see a need to
have two "APR" external modules based on compiler used.
