Yes and no. :-) There are some parts of APR that can be enabled/disabled
with command line parameters to configure. Not all of APR has this option
however. What I basically do, is as I find a section of APR that can not
be disabled, I go in and add code to disable it with a configure option.
The way things are turned on and off with APR is really simple, so adding
more options is not difficult, but nobody has ever sat down and just done
it.
I am more than happy to help in any way that I can. If that means helping
with the port, or helping make more of APR selectable, just let me know.
Ryan
