Actually I think it should be put into CMake itself. Currently CMake
only has a macro for finding the svn binary (whatever that could be used
for in a build script).

If you call supplying the path to the two variables CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH hoops then yes ;)

Well, I could probably use apr-config for the include path, but for the
library path....

I'm not that good at cmake yet, but I guess parsing the --link-ld output
could be done this way:

split on dash and with the list do:
find item which starts with L and remove the L - use that as path
find item which starts with l and remove the l, add lib and .so and
append the result to the path (with a path separator)

If you have an idea how to do that, I'm all ears, actually for finding
the first part is enough, i.e. finding the path to use it as default for
finding libapr-1.so
