As Bill mentioned in another message, it looks like it would be possible to integrate it within httpd-2.0. So rather than including it within the Apache-Test sources, what I could do is add a post-install script to the Win32 ppm package we have here for Apache-Test that would install the apxs script, if desired - that might be handy for people who'd like to play with it now.
Though it won't be available for people with older httpd-2.0. I guess in that case Apache::Test could install it.
That's what I was thinking - sorry, I should have been clearer. ppm has a feature that, when one installs a ppm package, a script from some server can optionally be fetched and run (by Perl, or anything, actually). So what I could do for the Apache-Test ppm package we have is use such a script to get the needed files for the apxs script and run and install them (if the user wants) - that way, a person running an older httpd-2.0 could just ppm install Apache-Test from here, and apxs would also get installed (of course, associating this script with Apache-Test is just convenience - a user can fetch and run the script him/herself manually). So this wouldn't require any changes to the Apache-Test sources.
Thanks Randy, I did understand that. I was asking about those who try to install from source, without using ppm.
