Why keep non-used/non-functional files? Not that the files do bother me in any way, and I dont care about - but now since we found they are obsolete why not clean them up? Because that would be another diff that the reviewer needs to substantiate. Maintenance branches should only have necessary, not cosmetic maintenance. This is why it is evil to do major whitespace corrections on those branches, it just muddies the picture for the rest of us.

Can someone familar with AIX please check how the build system for AIX now works with these branches? thanks, Gün.

Even 2.0 seems to just generate libmod_foo.exp then pass the generated file to the linker, but I wouldn't go out of your way removing them from 2.0 and 2.2 if they aren't bothering anyone.

are the *.exp files still used by any platform?
just curious for what the *.exp files might be used ... to me it looks like a relic of times when the windows exports where not done by dllexport prefixes but with *.exp files ... they came in 12 years back with: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=83343 and are therefore in all 2.x branches ...

AFAICT AIX/libtool uses export files generated during the build, but does not use the checked in ones.
