mod_perl won't compile under Cygwin without some tricks.

OK, here is what I've done to build apache+mod_perl under Cygwin.
1. Patch apaci/mod_perl.config.sh in mod_perl distro -- it doesn't
have #!/bin/sh and Cygwin shell is unable to run it:
--- orig/mod_perl.config.sh Fri Jul 06 22:41:03 2001
+++ new/mod_perl.config.sh Sat Aug 11 23:44:01 2001

2. make libperl.a symbolic link to libperl5_6_1.a:
cd /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin/CORE
ln -s libperl5_6_1.a libperl.a
3. build mod_perl with this command:
perl Makefile.PL USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DUSEIMPORTLIB
DO_HTTPD=1
(it won't link without PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DUSEIMPORTLIB)
4. make
However, I think that building mod_perl under Cygwin is a not a good
idea (yet). For example, you won't be able to build libapreq (Apache::Request):
it requires some symbols from apache and under win32 it's impossible
to link .dll to symbols in .exe which loads this .dll.
That's why win32 apache is split into Apache.exe and ApacheCore.dll --
it allows modules to link with ApacheCore.dll. Unfortunately,
Cygwin builds single httpd.exe binary and libapreq fails to link
to ap_table_add, ap_getword and many other symbols residing in apache
binary.
