Now a day it is a little stricky: to link staticly against httpd we need a
config.m4 to put in httpd-2.0/modules/web_app and run autoconf to rebuild the
configure of httpd-2.0...

No, I am not against using the APR sources, I was just thinking that the time
needed to change mod_webapp could have been used to fix APR. (But it is more
complicated that I excepted it).
