Allaire ships a compiled shared object module for its ColdFusion product. It has few dependancies and should generally work with all 1.3.x versions.
I would request the the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER *not* be changed for minor point releases of Apache so we can ship binaries with out product that will work even when Apache moves forward. We are getting a lot of grief from our customers about this. :-) >How-To-Repeat: Try to load a module built with 1.3.0 headers on 1.3.1 >Fix: Freeze the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER (in http_config.h) unless there really is an incompatible API change.
