I hear you loud and clear, Jeff. Why don't you give the 2_0_16 beta
tarball a shot? It's really in pretty good shape. That's what we have
running on apache.org, with a couple of debug patches added.
Sunday I'm leaving for the British Virgin Islands to bring a sailboat
back to Destin, FL :) . But for the rest of the week and after I get
back (we're figuring 10-14 days) I'll be happy to work with you on
getting 2.0 running. There are plenty of other folks on this list who
will pitch in and help you as well.
