This does affect the SAPIs for 2.0 too - we've historically patched that
out the unsubtle way, e.g.:

-  if test -z `$APXS -q SYSCONFDIR`; then

     INSTALL_IT="\$(mkinstalldirs) '$APXS_LIBEXECDIR' && \

You can also see many of the patches by checking the archives for this
list, and the cvs archives where they get checked in :)
