Please keep in mind that admins that run a Windows server almost never comipile Apache (including APR, APR-UTIL and APR-ICONV) themselves. Most of them rely on prebuilt binaries from other sources. ApacheLounge (dsw/dsp, Steffen) and ApacheHaus (mak files AFAIK, Gregg) are the most popular prebuilt Windows suppliers. If you drop dsp support, you will put a huge burden on people like them. -- Jan
