I would like to roll out some software to users based on apache2 under windows 98 (and 
other windows
+platforms).

When visiting http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/windows.html I see a severe 
sounding message
+stating that support for windows 98 is incomplete.

What determines if the support is complete?

I found reference to the lack of 98 support in the status file in the root of the 
distribution. There+are a couple of bugs there.  Are there more? I had a look in the 
apache bug database for bugs
+relating to windows 9x and httpd 2.0.39 and HEAD. The criteria were quite broad, but 
+I only found
+one, bug 10435. I tried again including resolved, verified and closed bugs and 
+broadening the
+criteria.  I found thirty, twenty-five of which were flagged as duplicates. Of the 
+remaining five,
+four were resolved or closed.

Superficially, it looks like there's not too much work to be done to get the server 
ready for 9x. Is
+this so?  If not what's stopping it?  Is there no one to do rigorous testing, for 
+example?

I'll go and read through that bug list in detail now.  Comments appreciated.

(apologies if this is a double post)
