My point, obviously, was that we can't have it both ways and
say mod_dbd is great and a new core enhancement if it doesn't
even build under Win32.
Win32 is one platform among many that we support. Additionally, we
have
very few developers who care to maintain Win32. mod_dbd apparently
works
just fine on every other platform. Therefore, I don't think
removing it
from the feature list is warranted. If no one cared about it until
now, I
don't care about it either.
If mod_dbd didn't work on Darwin, I wouldn't ask that we remove it
from the
features list if it works on Linux, Solaris, and Win32. I'd ask
that it be
noted and move along. I don't know why we would or should grant
special
consideration to Win32 here. -- justin
Either we:
1. Remove it from the feature list
2. Keep it in there, but document that it doesn't
build under Win32
3. Someone who knows Win32 adds whatever magic is required
to have it build.
I don't care which one is done, but doing none is just plain
sloppy, and we're better than that (or, at least, we *should* be).
