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

Thanks Randy, I did understand that. I was asking about those who try to
install from source, without using ppm.
Ah, I see now ... What could be done, within Apache-Test's
Makefile.PL, is offer to get the same remote source and
configuration files to install apxs that the ppm post-install
script gets. This would be easier to maintain and upgrade, and
plus wouldn't require adding additional files to the Apache-Test
distribution.
since it seems that most win32 users use ppm anyways this sounds good to me.
