It's off-topic, but was raised when I investigated how to unite the
patch scripts of UNIX and Windows (of mod_ssl) into one script
(Ralph - does it interest you?  The current status looks anomal for
me...).

Anyway, I noticed that all of the current Apache modules use one of
the following ways:

1. Either they focus ONLY on one platform (Windows *OR* UNIX), so
   their installation-script / patch-script, is simple.

-- or --

2. They are compatible with BOTH Windows AND UNIX, so their
   installation script is very complex.

Isn't there a simple way to be compatible with both?
Is there any guide how to add a new module to Apache so it will be
supported by BOTH of the environments?
Everybody knows how to use "--add-module", how to add directives,
and so on, but the rules for Windows are completely different; You
must modify Makefiles, ".def" files, etc.

Does anybody have a good (or bad) answer for me?
Should I send this question to the mailing list of Apache modules?

Thanks in advance,
