Dick-
No one is asking or telling you to stop what you're doing, trust me, it has
gotten plenty of attention, however, when individuals contact me, and email the lists,
I have to, *have to* tell them it is completely unsupported.
I know, you want to run apache, however, internal spare cycles are very very few and
far between, and therefore side projects are extremely low priority. If I happen to
get a chance, I would gladly hand off an apache module for OS/X.
