I think it wouldn't even include these -- rather, you'd also include what mods were important to your particular project (i.e., Webware would have mod_webkit, mod_rewrite, and mod_ssl -- mod_auth_db and mod_ssi don't seem important to Webware -- another project might not have mod_rewrite, or might have mod_auth_db, etc). You could cut the build tools and documentation, maybe even mod_fancy_index (that's a mod, isn't it?) and a bunch of other near-standard modules. At the same time, Webware is close enough to a built-in web server that that seems near as simple. Anyway, this should be clearly directed at *only* Windows. These issues are all much better dealt with by the packaging systems on Linux OSes. > For future proofing, use Apache 2.0 now, rather than 1.3 I suppose, but it should also be possible to use 1.3 since you aren't looking for a featureful server anyway, just a compact and reliable one. Anyway, this might not be at all difficult, or maybe it's already been done. The whole module system seems to be meant to facilitate this, and make Apache easy to trim down.
