Hi all,

Thanks for the support. With +1s from Mario, Steffen and Giovanni and
no objection, I've opened the import as a pull request, since httpd is
now on Git: https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/925

It builds in-tree on trunk and 2.4.x, on Linux and Windows. The PR
lists a few points to decide, starting with whether to keep
mod_fcgid's history.

As it's my first PR there, the CI needs a committer's approval to run.
Mario or Giovanni, could one of you approve it and review?

Thanks,

Jamal
