+ * One of the main restrictions on Apache has been that we must assume
+ a very low-level common denominator for the OSs out there. For example,
+ Configure is always being derided as crappy, but it is restricted,
+ by long tradition and common sense, to only use those capabilities
+ that existed in the System 7 'sh' (eg: no function, etc...). One
+ possible key to Apache's success is that it does not require any
+ more than basic UNIX tools (and an ANSI C compiler) to build,
+ compile and run. Many of the ideas floating around for 2.0 would,
+ by default, (drastically) change this. Is this a good idea?
