Ahh I see. So your thoughts are to fix the bindist relocation problem,
having apr-util look in all the shlibpath dirs to find apr-util-1/*
would be the solution.

And envvar would really only be necessary if for some reason the shlib
dir was one not specified via one of the platform's env variables.
I did file the following bug:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45327
against apache since the problem is the bindist stuff isn't handling
this. If you're plan is for apr-util to fix it, I can redirect the bug
to APR. However, do you have an idea of if you're thinking longer term
(at least a few releases out) or shorter term workaround in envvars (or
something like that) and then fixing apr-util longer term? If it's the
former I think we can handle the workaround in our apache builds and
just watch out for the longer term fix.
Thanks,
Andy
