    * Martin's [PATCH] [FEATURE] Clickable Path Components in ftp dir header
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	Status: Martin +1, Ken +1

In progress:

    * Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components 
	This has "evolved" into a new module: util_uri. Martin
	will post when it's at a state where he's happy with it.

Needs patch:

Closed issues:

    * Removal of inetd mode
	Ken says he'll try to maintain it, since there are
	people/places who need it

Open issues:

    * Ken suggests that new check_cmd_context() and related defines
	should be non-static and in util_* so modules can use 'em.  (He
	didn't notice this flaw during the review.)

    * Sameer's mod_so implemetation
	See <19...@gabber.c2.net>
	Issues: Underscores: Should I try prepending, appending, and
	 ignoring? -> Alexei says look at Java
	 Location? os/unix ??

    * 206 vs. 200 issue on Content-Length
	See <Pi...@valis.worldgate.com>

    * Conditional logging and aplogger
	Dean broke piped logging, -DNO_OTHER_CHILD to disable the reliable
	stuff if you depend on piped logging.  I figure nobody must, since
	we haven't seen a bug report and it'd show up easily under moderate
	load. Brian thinks Cond. logging is taking us in an opposite
	direction from where we should be going.

    * Brian's ``strange performance delays''
	<3....@hyperreal.org>
	mod_proxy and garbage collection?
	see: <19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>

    * Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
	Marc, Dean, Martin say Yes

    * NameVirtualHost
	Causes mucho confusion... Dean is ready to ``admit defeat''
	but should we let him? Lars suggests making NameVirtualHost
	a required directive or at least an error message, since
	it will snag many who go from 1.2 to 1.3.

    * DDA's adding a tray application to the Windoze version for ease of
      status/management.
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	Status: Ken +1, Sameer +1, Martin +1, Ben +1 (as long as
	we get a single executable)
	Paul: No like Win95 specific stuff

    * The PR#918 patch above appears to have been bogus, should be fixed or
	reversed.  It has been reversed for now.

    * Martin's SEGV, and Alexei's GP Fault under windows (probably the same)

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info
	<Pi...@alive.znep.com>

Remember how I said I wasn't going to be online last weekend?  Well this
weekend I'm really not going to be online (famous last words).  But I'm
happy with 1.3b3 the way it is right now ... +1 on freezing now with
release happening asap.
