Embed the .manifest files of all httpd binaries as a post-build operation. This ensures the exported (Studio 97 generated) .mak files create a usable Apache directly from the VC 8 (Studio 2005) command line environment.

Revert Revision 397647 While it solves the studio 2005 (we desire this), it breaks the studio 6 packaging (we require this). Discussion on list of practical solutions.

This resource /D syntax was pretty horridly imported into VS 2005, change the quotation to ensure a peaceful transition to sln/vcproj files.

Remove all /machine:I386 references, these are getting in the way of switching linkers from the x86 (default linker) to x64 or other possible target platforms. (Also, this commit cleans up lingering /GX switches from the 'BASE' options that are supposed to be unused).

s|/GX |/EHsc | because they were always synonyms, and Visual Studio 2005 edition complains bitterly and loudly that /GX is deprecated.

Remove a host of dependencies upon awk, using the same template for nearly every .rc compilation (giving the output .res file a different name for each component). Adds AP_SERVER_BASEPROJECT to ap_revision.h so we can display the proper name of "Apache HTTP Server" as opposed to AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT (which is, and should remain, simply "Apache" for the server string tokens.)

Reintroduce stack frame construction with /Oy- (removal was implied by /O2). This makes binaries far easier to debug, during operation and for post-crash .dmp analysis. Do not alter /Gs optimizations per brane. Reviewed by: stoddard, brane

After discussions at length on dev@apr/httpd, it is determined that the older .dbg format symbols are not worth the interference with generating complete .pdb symbolic debugging databases. This patch further eliminates pdbtype:sept flags that interfere with deciphering local symbols and type information.

After consultations on the APR list, it was decided that /map files are fairly redundant when you retain rich .pdb debugging symbol files. We have rarely used them, and generally .dbg and .pdb files prove much more useful for the cases we have. While eliminating /map files, we are also shrinking the size of the .dbg files by stripping 'private' symbol information. Really this means less rich diagnostics from Dr. Watson on NT or Win9x when they query the .dbg symbols in creating a DrWatson log file. But it's more than compensated for on newer OS'es where Dr. Watson will query the .pdb symbols, on all Win32 flavors when WinDbg is used with the .pdb symbols, and the fact that the distribution of binary symbols will use less bandwidth when less information is duplicated from the .pdb format into the .dbg files.

foo.dbgmark turned out to be the same 8.3 name as foo.dbg itself, which was badness. Twist this puppy to .dbr, the only name I could invent that doesn't look like any database file extension I recall. It stands for .dbg rebased.

*) Introduce debugging symbols for Win32 release builds, both .pdb and .dbg files (older debuggers and Dr. Watson-type utilities on WinNT or Win9x don't support the newer .pdb flavor.) [Allen Edwards, William Rowe]

Catch up with the changes to apr/build/win32ver.awk and name all loadable httpd modules as .so, internally. Credit to Mladen Turk for identifing the issue.

Now for the major refactoring. Introduce mod_isapi.h, as we have had untold problems with compatibility between different Visual Studio and PlatformSDK users [based on their generation of the MS ISAPI header.] This header is coded from scratch in native APR types. Replace the apr_array_t with an apr_hash_t, mutex protected, to allow us to preload and late-load isapi modules. This closes a significant bug with trafficed sites using uncached isapi modules, where one would be closing the module just as another request is opening it [as if for the first time.] This would cause some ISAPI modules to crash. Now that we load modules for the lifetime of the server, a simple graceful restart is all that's required to unload all the non-precached modules. Crack out all FAKE_ASYNC code while we complete it. Total support for the Completion Context callback and end-of-request termination is required before we can toggle this on. My next commit; complete fake async support. But this was all I'd had in me for one night.

*) Split all Win32 modules [excluding the core components mod_core, mod_so, mod_win32 and the winnt mpm] into individual loadable modules, so the administrator may individually disable the former compiled-in modules by simply commenting out their LoadModule directives. [William Rowe] *) Saved Win32 module authors and porters many future headaches, by duplicating the appropriate .h files such as os.h into the include directory, including in the build tree. [William Rowe] Also noticed that version stamp resources weren't generated for proxy modules, this too is now fixed.
