Originally, I was surprised by the use of MSVC as main toolchain for Windows, then I've planned to allow Apache Daemon to be compiled with MinGW toolchain [1]. My goal is to compile and cross-compile Apache daemon for Windows/Linux in 32/64bits with one tool; GCC is a good candidate. However, I want to allow anybody to compile sources with a wide range of C compilers, then C source code must follow one of C standards. Taking Daemon off in a new direction isn't really what the community > needs right now. What the community needs is support (in terms of fixes > and releases) for the 1.0.x series. I'm agree; this is much more for a 2.0.x version. [1] Maybe I'm not aware about an issue with GCC for windows targets ?
