  +   
  +   The developers make sure that the software builds and works
  +   correctly on the platforms available to them; this does
  +   not necessarily mean that your platform
  +   is one of them.  In addition, the Apache HTTP server project
  +   is primarily source oriented, meaning that distributing
  +   valid and buildable source code is the purpose of a release,
  +   not making sure that there is a binary package for all of the
  +   supported platforms.
  +   
  +   
  +   If you don't see a kit for your platform listed in the
  +   binary distribution area
  +   (http://www.apache.org/dist/binaries/>),
  +   it means either that the platform isn't available to any of
  +   the developers, or that they just haven't gotten around to
  +   preparing a binary for it.  As this is a voluntary project,
  +   they are under no obligation to do so.  Users are encouraged
  +   and expected to build the software themselves.
  +   
  +   
  +   The sole exception to these practices is the Windows package.
  +   Unlike most Unix and Unix-like platforms, Windows systems
  +   do not come with a bundled software development environment,
  +   so we do prepare binary kits for Windows when we make
  +   a release.  Again, however, it's a voluntary thing and only
  +   a limited number of the developers have the capability to build
  +   the InstallShield package, so the Windows release may lag
  +   somewhat behind the source release.  This lag should be
  +   no more than a few days at most.
