159N/A * Current 2.0 code is not tested on many Unix platforms. Make 2.0
851N/A work on most, if not all the systems 1.3 did
159N/A
911N/A Status: Autoconf and APR will get us most of the way there.
911N/A
911N/A * The module API is a weird combination of the old table and the new

2.0
Open issues:
* What do we do about mod_proxy?
* Which MPMs will be included with Apache 2.0?
