worked like a charm!! I think you can go ahead with an announcement now

doesn't ?! :-)

Anyway I and probably everybody else should know that Windows is a
broken platform. A few days ago I myself ran into a well-known Windows
DLL hell. We cannot overstate the fact that SSLeay's DLLs must be put
on _system_ %PATH%, especially when Apache is intended to run as a
Windows service.

I also have a few suggestions concerning cosmetic aspects of
configure.bat. They don't need to be put into the 2.1 release

1) should we make backups (*.orig) when we patch those win32
makefiles?

2) in Makefile.nt you invoke mod_ssl's makefile with

nmake /nologo CFG="mod_ssl - Win32 %LONG%" -f Makefile
nmake /nologo CFG="mod_ssl - Win32 %LONG%" -f Makefile clean
...


The define CFG="mod_ssl - Win32 %LONG%" has nothing to do here. The
other .mak need it, because they are generated by DevStudio, and it's
the way they do it. Our Makefile is hand written. Also nmake looks for
'makefile' by default, so no need to use the -f option. You can just

nmake /nologo all         # or without 'all'
nmake /nologo clean

-trung

P.S. Ralf, thanks for cooperation. It's my first experience with such
a project. Good feeling.
