I've hacked the Apache 2.2.6 source to make it match Apache 2.2.13, 
updated the patch file and am trying now to build using the template of 
the 2.2.6 patch.

When I build Apache using the updated apache2-2.2.13-1.sh script, I can 
get through most phases of the build but when I get to the the final 
link step for httpd2, I get:

/usr/lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o):(.text+0xab): undefined reference to 
`_WinMain AT 16'

Any thoughts on what I should change?  I'm a bit surprised as, of 
course, Windows binaries set their entry point to WinMain (mangled as 
_WinMain) where as unix binaries as well as command-line binaries use 
main, and since Apache hasn't any GUI elements, shouldn't the linker 
expect _main and not _WinMain?  Since this is so fundamental in the 
build process, I find it highly unlikely that Apache has changed so much 
from 2.2.6 to 2.2.13 that it broke the CYGWIN build in this way, but one 
never knows and certainly if there's a fix I'll add it to the patch 
since I hope if I can get this working, I can contribute it to the 
project as an official release.

Jeffrey.
