true (sort of ... but) I am providing binaries

false - I do not want to split hairs but it is built with MSVC 6
Also, I think Apache can be built with Cygwin and Mingw32 but I have not
done either yet. I have Mingw32 compiling simple Win32 applications on
my Debian Linux box and will be trying eventually to build the Apache
binaries from Linux (cross-compile). Currently I use MSVC 6, MASM,
Cygwin(Bison,Flex,Awk), and Perl to build Apache.
Where I am employed I distribute as many as 20,000 Apaches - my Win32
binaries - they are compiled with SSL but not configured to use it.

There is some uncertainty I suppose about the export laws, like you
say. I do not know why this does not apply to non-windows.

When I updated my Cygwin I think there was the opportunity to get the
source and build Apache. I did not do it that way since I have all of
the other tools.
I think you should give both Mingw32 and Cygwin another look.
