As you've all seen, I voted against releasing 1.7.19 and 1.8.11, because
the DAV tests don't work with HTTPd 2.4+, which is the system default on
the latest version of OSX. I'd be surprised if OSX is the exception; it
seems to depend not just on the HTTPd version but also on the configured
MPM.

I found that we've had the fix on trunk in davautocheck.sh for over a
year, and have proposed to backport it to 1.7.x and 1.8.x; it's a clean
merge.

I therefore propose that we scratch the 1.7.19 and 1.8.11 releases,
approve the backport and roll 1.7.20 and 1.8.12 with the fix included.
