2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj Ben Laurie's work to fix CGIs will also fix this.

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj Status: Bill is working on this through his MPM work, and Ryan

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj Status: Autoconf and APR will get us most of the way there.
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj * The module API is a weird combination of the old table and the new
2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj hook system. Switch completely to the new hook system

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manojRELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
aa1faea36e4ae357bc603a2337b6adc54f5daec1manoj * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.
aa1faea36e4ae357bc603a2337b6adc54f5daec1manoj * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.

2a6c49cfaef5979a5a06098f3ce987cd76769409manoj behavior. Dean has suggested getting rid of regex containers
