>Description:
Why not include version info in the windows versions of Apache. It's so easy and so useful. By right-clicking on a file the user know exactly which version of Apache he/she is running, if there is a mix, or just as info about the files. In Dependency Walker, one can see more info: dependent files, debug info, linker version etc. but it doesn't look good with these empty spaces in the Apache-files! 
>How-To-Repeat:
Start windows, right-click on apache executables.
>Fix:
Include a resource script in the apache executables projects. There is also the linker option "/VERSION: #.#". If there was a way to send files I could send you my scripts. I paste the libhttpd.DLL script below.
