Brane,
actually I'm thinking that the pre-NT, post-NT split is a perfect
justification for two different builds, and was working on that for
the Apache 2.2 installer. Running 9x/NT detection throughout APR just
seems silly, when you consider that it's one or the other.
Folks upgrading from borked Win9x OS's to NT feel no pain. Folks that
downgrade to 9x should be shot on site :)

*Sigh*, yes, fine, but APR is used by stuff other than httpd, some of
which aren't servers. Subversion's one of them. It doesn't use ldap, but
does use apr_util.
If the goal of this project is to produce a portable runtime, then it
has to run on less-than-bleeding-edge machines (even if some features
aren't available). If, OTOH, the goal is a portable runtime for httpd,
then perhaps Subversion should reconsider its use of APR...
(No, I don't think having different flavours of the APR DLLs for
different versions of Windows is acceptable.)
