No issue on MS, plenty of more modern compilers, but MS C has been MS C++ with all sort of other oddities forever. I am thinking oddballs like hpux and old Solaris compilers, but in trunk do we really need to keep accommodating for httpd 2.6/3.0? In the test suite, since it is used to validate legacy httpd, it seems prudent to keep compatibility for a while longer still.
