The new Makefile has a switch called WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS. I'm guessing that makes use of the external port. If I hadn't already installed it I would see what it does...maybe next time.

Of course, you have to know to look for that option. It would be more visible if the port made use of the options framework that I'm seeing in some of the other ports (does that functionality have a name?), but I wonder how many people would know or care either way.

Thanks
