Available:

    * Brian Havard's OS/2 proxy patch -- OS/2 can't open() a directory
	<19...@silk.apana.org.au>
	This is take 3 or so.
    
    * Dean's [PATCH] using freed memory, and a memory debugger
	<Pi...@twinlark.arctic.org>
	Fixes three bugs.  Dean doesn't care if the alloc.c debugging stuff
	goes in or not, but the bugs need fixing.
	Status: Dean +1, Jim +1
    
    * Martin's [PATCH] [FEATURE] Clickable Path Components in ftp dir header
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>

	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>

    * Paul's Win32 service errors

	Status: Paul +1

In progress:

    * Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components - comments welcome
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	Good start, fixes bugs, cleans things up.  Needs some more work, and
	will probably need to go in after Dean's vhost patch.

Needs patch:

    * Gemini port (SCO + UnixWare)
	see <Pi...@twinlark.arctic.org>

    * AIX >= 4.2 could use -DNET_SIZE_T=size_t

Open issues:

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

    * Marc's auth issue, he'll get a minimal config that reproduces it
	* solved: mod_example is returning OK for everything ... causing
	    badness

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

    * make install issues

    * FLOCK mutex problems under FreeBSD and others

    * Win32:
	mod_info
	Test mod_rewrite
	SERVER_BUILT
	crypt() replacement (but see crypt32.dll)

	- Ben has a more-or-less working install:
	    - doesn't install as a service on NT
	    - doesn't patch the config files
	    - win95 doesn't seem to serve up index.html, NT dos

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

    * Ken's perl logfile splitter

1.3b3 Considerations:

    * Dean's libap.a concept

I tested this, and it made no problems in my environment. When enabled,
it even helped track down a memory bug. +1 from here.

I haven't written a CHANGES and new_features_1_3 entry for this, but
I find it useful (for ftp more so than for http paths, since only
few http directories usually are served by mod_autoindex) to be able
to jump directly to any directory level.
If you want more input (or fixes?) tell me.

In the meantime this has become a new module util_uri, parsing will be
based on regcomp()/regexec().  Not committed / posted yet. Various new
functions, like default_port_for_scheme(), pduphostent() etc.
I'll repost when it is stable.

+1

If the debugging stuff is #ifdef'ed off by default, as I think it was,
then that's worth having up our sleeves for another day/bug. +1 on
it all.
