It aught to, against a 2.2.17 that uses msvcrt.dll - if it is built for msvcr### where ### is another MS fad, then all bets are off, but you should give it a try. If you use only apr functions in that module to alloc/free memory, set envvars, or perform file io (no FILE/fd magic) then it should, irrespective of which compilers/linkers were used. > 2.

We don't have Foundation/project goals in the way you are thinking... but there are a few committers who are interested in the subject, none of whom have found the time to invest in closing the circle.
