Providing any kind of binaries is not Apache's business. Third-parties like apachelounge do that. Why does it matter what the binary is built with? Complain to Microsoft if they've broken compatibility! can I quote your words?
Each VC has it own MSVCRTxx.dll which is of course incompatible with the previous. For httpd to support modules build by a third party the only viable solution is to use MSVCRT.dll (VC6 is the last one that allows you to do that) If we build with VC9 any module build with < VC9 would be probably broken, so it would have to be recompiled with the VC version we are using.
