So, what to do? My natural bias for large software is to use

decide what changes you need here as those changes will propagate
outwards forcing many other decisions (cf: /Zc:wchar_t- flag).
+ The current package structure (./include, ./lib/release,
+ ./lib/debug, etc.) really works against the conventions used by
+ configure-like programs. I wasted a lot of time getting each
+ library to work with our structure without having to go back to
+ automake/autoconf. For Linux and Mac (and even for Windows), a
+ structure like the following where each grouping is optional would
+ probably save some work:
+
+ ./debug/bin
+ /include
+ /lib
+ ./debug/shared/bin
+ /include
+ /lib
+ ./debug/static/bin
+ /include
+ /lib
+ ./release/bin
+ /include
+ /lib
+ ...
+
+ In zlib and openssl and in a few of the libraries that consume
+ them, I experimented with packaging both static and shared
+ libraries and then having the consumer library move the unwanted
+ pieces out of the way to use the library type of choice (see
+ restore_dylibs() and restore_sos() functions). It was a bit fussy
+ and simplicity and clarity are the keys to maintaining libraries
+ in the future.
+
+ But it did suggest another approach. The idea is that every build
+ pre-stages inputs. Before anything is built, package pieces are
+ copied or symlinked from the 'stage/packages' area to the
+ 'stage/input' area. Builds then proceed with a single set of
+ -I/-L options for the dependencies. And products are built and
+ installed in a similar output staging structure for the next
+ consumer:
+
+ stage/packages/<package>/[above structure]
+ stage/input/{bin,include,lib}
+ stage/<package>/[above structure]

Next library project. I'd recommend working on the related set of
libexpat, apr, aprutil, xmlrpc-epi. We know libexpat has some
updates that should improve stability. Libapr consumes it and it
