It's mostly a matter of removing stuff - most of the code
moved to common/, it shouldn't be too much server-specific code.

What you can do is start with jk_service_iis.c ( based on 
jk_service_apache13 ) - and move the few methods related with 
request.

Then remove almost everything from isapi.c - all you need is to 
get ( from registry ? or env ? ) the location of tomcat ( I would 
try both - please note that you probably have it already in 
the tomcat service key - reusing that is the best choice !).

That's it. Configuration should use workers2.properties, from
tomcat.home/conf. 

If you find any extra code that could be usefull - try to 
move it in common/, but don't leave it in isapi. 

If you want to have fun - you can also implement jk_log_nt to
send the logs to the iis-specific thing ( windows events ? ).

I don't think you need 2 dlls. Just one big dll including everything
should be fine. ( don't forget the jni/ directory ).

2 files - yes, one with only initialization ( with the major goal
of finding the conf/ dir ), one for service. 

( unless there's a problem having a dll as both filter and handler )

Let me know if you need help - I will try to do some refactoring to
extract the code dealing with the registry ( into 
common/jk_config_registry ) and let both tomcat and mod_jk2 use it.
If you want I can do a quick refactoring and put the new stuff 
in - to get it started.
