As to wether this is realistic: From apache-1.3/src/support/ab.c: #define VERSION "1.3d" which has been there for some XXX years and allowed us to compare ab results across version releases of apache reliably. I agree that with 2.0 the problem is worse - as we also need to version in APR - and for this reason it may be that we either need to move ab out of the 2.0 tree and into its own space OR also print out the version of APR and the version of Apache it sits in: Version: ab/1.4a Distribution: apache/2.0.35 Apr: apr/2.0.27bis or something along those lines. In general we have a larger can of worms - apache now crucially depends on APR without all that much decoupling - so apache's version number either implies an APR number or the latter needs to be visible. The same fun implies to the tags applied in the tree. Dw
