Is this the recommended way to handle this issue? What would you guys
recommend? Should I provide precompiled binaries for all platforms in
version control so I don't have to worry about making CMake build APR, or
would you recommend complex CMake logic to handle calling EXECUTE_PROCESS()
for APR on all platforms? Either way you look at it, it looks like a
nightmare.
