I know! -- somehow I have to trick the beast on Cygwin to get a clean make install to copy the whole executables. Should I add a uname case switch here to be on the same side?! Or maybe a checking of env var $OSTYPE?! Have you any other proposal for getting this *done*? > And it is the latter which I was worried about: > what happens if -on a unix platform- I happen > to have a $src.exe in my directory?

That's true -- but, there is no Unix platform (at least currently) that *build* httpd.exe (or any other .exe extension executable), is there?! > But if it breaks on Cygwin, I am much less worried that when > it breaks on unix, to be honest.

But the stupidity was introduced to demands the Cygwin folks had, so I'm not that eager that the change will be done on that side very easily. Wie w�r's mit einem Treffen auf der CeBIT? Sch�tze werden einige von uns da sein?!
