Hi Richard,

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it!

I'm compiling Apache (and OpenSSL) using MS Visual Studio/C++ 6.0, but the
Apache makefile calls awk, bison, flex, and sed, which I've installed from
cygwin. I had tried to use the Gnuwin32 versions of these utilities but the
compile was failing on the bison invocation. I'm also using MASM for the
OpenSSL compile.

Let me know if you disagree with this.

BTW, do I even need openssl.exe, libeay32.dll and ssleay.dll in the
apache2\bin folder, since they are already in the cygwin OpenSSL install?
Are these files called during Apache's SSL negotiation, or just when
creating certificates?

Thanks again,
Scott
