Geez, I hate APR. Looking at that package dependency list... there is
no reason that trying to use serf should require LDAP and BDB. Gah!!!

These kinds of refinements are just what we're looking for. I had
access to a sunos5 box, and it (theoretically) built there. But that
was a long while back. I'm trying to get back on that box, and will
refine the SConstruct to build there.

My hope would be to build on the native cc. If somebody tells it to
use gcc... that will likely be a bit more work.

We'll be releasing a 1.3.1 soon, and any suggestions/patches you may
have will be helpful. I'll try to get the build working on my solaris
box, and hope that it works for you too.

Thanks,
