Building Apache log4cxx with autotools

   SMTP and ODBC options can depend on libraries that 
   that have different licenses.
   You should review the corresponding licenses and understand
   the implications before redistribution.

* Platform specific notes:

** Mac OS/X:
  
  APR, APR-Util and iODBC are preinstalled in Mac OS/X 10.5 and later.
  
** Cygwin:
  
  Install sed which is required by the unit tests.  The prepackaged
  APR currently available from Cygwin has APR_HAS_THREADS == 0.
  Some appenders will not be available and some may operate
  with reduced functionality.  There have been reports of
  building APR on Cygwin with threads enabled.


** MinGW:

   Recent APR 1.2.x releases fail ./configure with a error
   of "decision on anonymous shared memory failed".  That issue
   has been fixed in the current APR SVN HEAD.  The follow
   sequence worked with MSYS (with Python on Path):

+----+
cd expat-2.0.1
./configure
make install
cd ..
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/trunk apr
cd apr
./buildconf.sh
./configure 
make install
cd ..
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/trunk apr-util
cd apr-util
./buildconf.sh
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local --with-expat=/usr/local
make install
cd ../apache-log4cxx-0.10.0
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local \
   --with-apr-util=/usr/local --with-logchar=wchar_t
make install
+----+

   Running "make check" was observed to fail with unexpected exceptions
   in streamtestcase and datetimedateformattestcase.
