Fine. I'll first go to the birthday dinner with my family members and then I
want to adjust a few more files in the distribution (NEWS, ANNOUNCE, README,
etc). But then I'll roll the final 2.1.0 tarball this afternoon and release
the stuff.
Thanks for the fast feedback, Trung.

Hmmmm.... yes. Ok, I'll create .orig files in configure.bat.
This way it's more consistent with what "patch" does.

I've removed the CFG=... and added the "all", but the "-f Makefile" I want to
leave as "/f Makefile" just to make sure this "broken platform" tools do what
they should do (perhaps "makefile vs. Makefile" or whatever next M$ break in
new releases of their VC++ stuff :-( ).

Oh, I have to thank _you_, because _you_ contribute to my project. But sure,
Open-Source Software projects (especially when related to interesting/popular
mother-projects like Apache) are always nice areas to work. That's why we all
do it and love it this way. So, keep on your good contributions, please ;-)
BTW, for 2.1.x and 2.2bX there will be _A LOT_ of more things where one can
contribute to the project. Just a few key words to give you an idea:
Diffie-Hellman, Global-ID, IPC Shared Memory Cache, Extended
Backward-Compat Mappings, LDAP, CRLs, ... So don't think the
project ends with mod_ssl 2.1.0 ;-)
