Synopsis: Apache will not run as a "windows" app. Two small modifications make it possible

State-Changed-Why:

The key goal of Apache is 1:1 correspondence of the product
across platforms.  That means that many otherwise 'neat'
Win32 behaviors are discounted, out of hand.  However, the
forthcoming release 1.3.13 will support running Apache as
a hidden 'service' under Windows 95 and 98.

In making the service changes, your thought on testing for
WinNT prior to determining if Apache is a 'service is
a process' has been incorporated. 

Your request to export ap_start_shutdown and 
ap_start_restart has also been incorporated into 1.3.13.
This has the added benefit that dynamic reconfiguration 
modules that are dynamically loaded in apache can now
restart the server, a good thing IMHO.

Please note there are *substantial* changes to the Win32
services for NT and Win9x that may significantly affect
your wrapper application.  Good luck!
