To get more needed feedback, it is good to go with experimental mod_md, not 
with a2md. 

Be aware that we have then experimental code in mod_ssl !

Hereby I want to request to notify on error, see below. Missing  message(s) in 
the log can end with a non working ssl site. 

The command line utility a2md I have not seen tested by users, a -1 for a2md 
special because it needs a change for windows to get it working, see below. 

2and3 not seen used so far, no opinion. 

The .dsp’s etc. are ok in trunk.  Utility a2md.exe needs for windows the 
include of OpenSSL applink.c, like in abs.exe.  

Notes:

It is not really a module, more a configuration/install utility. And 
introducing curl and jansson dependencies. 

Running mod_md from the beginning and made available at ApacheLounge. It was a 
struggle to get it working for me and others, docu needs more eyes for reviews. 
It works ok, but I do not see that advantage over other utilities out there. 

Mod_md is standard oh so silence what it is doing behind the scenes. And with 
(config)errors it is quite a puzzle what is wrong, loglevel debug/trace2 is 
mostly needed to figure out.   When you miss a message for example with renew 
in the log, then  a change you end with a not working ssl site. 

I like to make request to make it possible that on an error we can get a notify 
(like MDNotifyCmd) for example by email. 

On my request already info/ warnings were added. We need more users to 
evaluate. 

In January LetsEncrypt is starting with wildcard certs. Maybe worth to wait. I 
know users waiting for that and experience learns that changes at LE can 
trouble mod_md.
