mod_rewrite fills in a number of gaps in Webware, so until Webware does better URL handling natively I think it has to be included. mod_ssl is just kind of cool to include, though not necessary. Unlike SSI or somesuch, mod_ssl is orthogonal to webware (like mod_gzip). > > Anyway, this should be clearly directed at *only* Windows.

I use Debian, so maybe I have a different perspective -- I'm used to packages installing easily and interacting very well. So I would envision the Debian Webware package installing easily and working well with the standard Apache package. "apt-get install webware" is as trivial as you can get, after all :) I don't see any reason that couldn't install Webware in a very usable, if generic, manner.
