We've avoided this up till now by adding a BUILD_DEPENDS on perl for packages
that use apxs to build dynamic extension modules (all of the ap-*) packages.
The apache/buildlink.mk file will actually do all of this automatically for
package Makefiles that use it. I don't believe the apxs script has any
utility other than this purpose. Do we really need that full dependency on
perl?
