  I noticed you no longer have pre-compiled binaries of Apache for NextStep 
  or OpenStep available on the Apache website.  If a group of people (myself 
  included) volunteered to compile the binaries of each Apache release for 
  these OSes, would you be interested in distributing them on your website?
  
  Thanks.

The policy: We, the HTTP project, distribute precompiled binaries only
from project committers or ASF members.

Trojan horse risks are one reason for this paranoia, but even small
tinkered with the as shipped build can create a problems.

I'm guessing, but it's pretty much a given that accepting 3rd party
binaries (ie: from non-PMC members) is not optimal.
