I've had a few customers who insisted on windows - usually it's because
their in-house IT staff is windows only.
A cygwin port would probably be good enough though, and maybe that's
easier than a full-blown win32 native port?

I like this approach, doesn't need to be perfect performance (PHP isn't
generally) but more naturally blending the AOLserver API's and Tcl stuff
into Apache seems smart in the year 2009.
Question: Does anyone (really) care about Win32 now? Poking at the
code today, I'm thinking config/build/install of a library that could be
used by a mod_aolserver would be cleaner without that cruft.
Disclosure: I wrote most of that Win32 wrapper/build muck. It's
existence now offends me :) Thinking back, my time and life energy
would have been better spent drinking heavily than trying to navigate
some silly intersection of Unix (which is mostly elegant) and Windows
(which is, well, not so elegant).

I do this for a couple of sites, Apache's mod_proxy forwards stuff to
AOLserver. This is mostly where we have a scarcity of IPs.
But that still means you have to jump through hoops to install it,
learn how to run it in production, etc.
I'd love a being able to just say "apt-get install apache2-aolserver
apache2-aolserver-postgresql".
Then have a config section in the virtual server where you define db
pools, the location of your tcl lib directories, etc. This could be
overridden by .htaccess files so that you may download a complete
package (say a blog, like WordPress), dump it in the page root and the
.htaccess would say "./tcllib" is just that and you could define pools
(written to .htaccess) in "config.adp".
A completely independent interpreter pool would be maintained for each
virtual server. It could even be the only "scripting module" to be
able to run in a fully threaded Apache. (but still needs to run in a
forking environment so it can play nice with PHP)
No, this won't be as great and efficient as AOLserver is, but it will
be a whole lot easier for people to use and sell to fellow staff,
management, clients, etc.
Just my thoughts on the subject! (And I do realise this is a whole lot
of work!)

With fancy switches and/or proxies like varnish can you effectively
blend aolserver with other app servers (lamp, ruby etc) now without
actual code changes ? I'm wondering if folks have done that
successfully

Moving AOLserver to run inside Apache as a module would be a great
step to making it more accesible and popular.
This is the reason why I'd like to implement a module for AOLserver
that
would enable it to run as a FastCGI application under Apache and/or
Lighttpd or any other webserver that speaks FastCGI.
