Why don't you plan to use ant for the building process instead of
namke/make. The major avantage of using ant would be to get a coherent,
unique process for all majors platforms like WXP, Linux, Unix, OS/400,
OS/390

From a build standpoint I agree.
But VC++ 2005 has improvements in Performance, MemoryManagement etc.
The optimizer seems to improve the performance quite significantly.
Contrary to what Microsoft would like, you can built the server with the
needed DLLs statically so there is nothing to ship and nothing to
install.
The Sambar Server( www.sambar.com ) uses this approach.
Steffan, you aren't considering the structure of httpd(!) Loading three
dozen modules and several libraries, each with embedded Clib functions is
quite sub-optimal ;-) For a monolithic program, I agree with your
assessment.
Of course, feel free to build under VC 2005 (freely for the next year!).
We are talking about maximum flexibility for distribution purposes, only.
