Greg,
if there is a way to plug in code into apr, apr-util, httpd, or any other
ASF project after the fact, then I'm +1 on choices (GNU? MS? Sun?
Who cares???)
However, if we choose to 'distribute' code, e.g. binary builds, and those
would (by virtue of our choices) require a GPL distribution, that's not only
earning a non-technical -1, but an outright outrageous position for the
Chairman of the ASF to hold. Of course, I don't suppose that is what
you meant in this message.
If we plug in some ./configure style choices for the 'non-unix' platforms,
that earns my wholehearted +1. In this case, it's nothing less than you
can do when using ./configure on unix to a GNU distro of iconv.
This last is what I had in mind, yes; but note that this has to be done
at build time, and that the person who creates the binaries would have
to use GNU libiconv sources or a pre-built library.
And bravo and congrats to Brane... excelent work on the Win32 build
schema for Win32 apr-iconv!
Thanks; I try. With a bit of luck, I may even get apr-iconv to a useful
state on Windows. :-)
