[PATCH-NT] Spaces in service name bug; admin module utils

[Keith Wannamaker <kr...@raleigh.ibm.com>]

NT does not handle spaces in service names well.
Attached are two patches to correct how Apache
deals with this.

  The first patch adds the util function
  ap_remove_spaces and exports it on all platforms.

  The second patch changes some service and registry
  functions to make use of this new function.


NT developers of Apache admin modules could use 
some functionality from registry.c.

  The third patch exports four ap_x functions from
  registry.c

You have spaces in your display name, not your service name.
Spaces in the display name are fine.

More clarification:

Service names with spaces cannot be disabled in hardware profiles.
Try
    apache -i -n "two bit"
Open the service control panel, select "two bit", then click HW Profiles.
You will receive an error.  Repeat with "twobit" instead.
