Hmm, little batch file could be done. If we do this, anyone could
type "make" on both Unix and Win32 and get the compiled Apache ? So
our "make.bat" would have to mimic the behaviour of a Unix makefile
and you could do things like "make install" or in the case of mod_ssl
"make certificate TYPE=..."? We would still have seperated builds.
In that case we need the .sh files from mod_ssl as batches, too.
I`m not sure, if this is the right way. Would`t it seperate the build
process a bit more? Sounds like having the same things to do on all
plattforms, but all on different ways.
How about Cygwin32? This sounds cleaner to me. We could change the
makefiles to detect Cygwin32 and then do the same things for Win32
as under Unix. ?
