The KAME project has IPv6 patches for 1.3.* at
ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/
they work on KAME (ie *BSD) stacks but have issues on platforms
without INET6_V6ONLY support (but just about work). linux.or.jp used
to maintain an alternative patch with v6 support, but that's since
gone.
The patches are all truly horrendous. APR has a much better model for
all of this.
Apache 1.4, an APR'ized version of Apache 1.3 (to pick up IPV6 and 64
bit support) with all the Windows specific code stripped out and
source compatability (to the extent possible) with Apache 1.3 modules
would probably see rapid uptake. I can't say that thrills me but it's
probably true...
Once we break binary compatibility, and with the above definition of 1.4
I think that's a certainty, then I don't see the big "reason" for
a 1.4 over 2.0.
There's a big diff, IMO, between opening up development on 1.3
and trying to make 1.3 a 2.0-lite.
