I vote pro including this package to the net release (mainly because
there is another proxyserver which works better for me like squid;)

The binary version seems to work ok, as usual (proxy not tested yet).

Some minor issues:

1.
I think libhttpd.dll should be in /usr/bin like all the shared libs.
To load the shared plugins it isn't needed to include /usr/libexec in
the PATH?

1.2.
#   Cygwin 1.3.x layout
<Layout Cygwin>
    prefix:        /usr
    exec_prefix:   $prefix
    bindir:        $prefix/bin
    sbindir:       $prefix/sbin
    libexecdir:    $prefix/libexec
    mandir:        $prefix/man
    sysconfdir:    /etc/httpd/conf

I request to change the path to the conf files to /etc/apache or
/etc/httpd, why another subdirectory?

    datadir:       /var/www
    iconsdir:      $datadir/icons
    htdocsdir:     $datadir/htdocs
    manualdir:     $htdocsdir/manual
    cgidir:        $datadir/cgi-bin
    includedir:    $prefix/include/apache
    localstatedir: /var
    runtimedir:    $localstatedir/run
    logfiledir:    $localstatedir/log/httpd
    proxycachedir: $localstatedir/cache/httpd
</Layout>     


2.
A typo in the README:
tar xjvf apache_1.3.22-1-src.tar.bz2
cd apache_1.3.22
configure --with-layour=Cygwin \
                    ^^^^^
  --with-port=80 \
  --enable-module=most \
  --enable-shared=max

3.
The Cygwin README with build instructions should also
be included in the source package (IMO).

Fix 1., 2., 3. and i'll start a build now to see if the
patched source builds `user-friendly' without tweaking:-)
