In progress:

    * Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components 
	This has "evolved" into a new module: util_uri. Martin
	will post when it's at a state where he's happy with it.

    * Ralf is rewriting mod_rewrite

Needs patch:

Closed issues:

    * Removal of inetd mode
	Ken says he'll try to maintain it, since there are
	people/places who need it

Open issues:

    * PrintPathOS2 uses "$test_exec_flag" without defining it...
	should it be '-x' or just '-r'?

    * 206 vs. 200 issue on Content-Length

    * Conditional logging and aplogger
	Dean broke piped logging, -DNO_OTHER_CHILD to disable the reliable
	stuff if you depend on piped logging.  I figure nobody must, since
	we haven't seen a bug report and it'd show up easily under moderate
	load.

    * Brian's ``strange performance delays''
	<3....@hyperreal.org>
	mod_proxy and garbage collection?
	see: <19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>

    * Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
	Marc, Dean say Yes

    * PR#951 (CGIs on Win32)
	Open? Closed? Fixed?

    * SunOS and stdio
	Stupid broken Sun headers...

    * NameVirtualHost
	Causes mucho confusion... Dean is ready to ``admit defeat''
	but should we let him? Lars suggests making NameVirtualHost
	a required directive

    * DDA's adding a tray application to the Windoze version for ease of
      status/management.
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	Status: Ken +1, Sameer +1, Martin +1,
	Paul and Ben and others: No like Win95 specific stuff

    * Apache Win32 v1.3b2 won't serve >16k
	Status: Has not be reproducable by project members
	Update: Ben has discovered the code that causes this. Will try
	to fix.

    * tarball issues:
       o Remove .Z files? Dean says yes, others don't really care
       o md5 or pgp or some combo of both?
       o Brian says yes... Jim says +1, Martin +1

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

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

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info
