Alright so I'm replying to myself AND changing my mind. Not good. But I digress. I'm convinced that it'd be a good thing to add a selection of binary DLLs for different Windows configurations, only because installing the development tools is such a pain in the neck. It's not like it's Linux, where all your tools are immediately available, no matter the distribution, Apache-dev possibly excepted. Instead, I had to sit in an RDP session and wait for about an hour while Microsoft's web installers chugged away at 40k/sec on a wide-open T1, and then I had to make decisions about what to install, hoping I wasn't going to be missing a needed header file because of a bad choice. So a lineup of DLL builds for XP Pro and Windows 2000 and 2003 server would sound like a very helpful idea to me. I'd even be willing to make some of them up, since I have access to all 3 platforms. It'd be nice if someone with Apache internals experience could chime in here and tell us how important it is to recompile for minor version changes, etc. What do you think -- useful? Not useful?
