Compile httpd 2.4.6-P2

Introduction to Apr Util

The Apache Portable Runtime Utility Library provides a predictable and consistent interface to underlying client library interfaces. This application programming interface assures predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of which libraries are available on a given platform.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4 platform.
