RE: cvs commit: apache-1.3 STATUS
Second opinion sought - do we update the Win32 .dsp files to 6.0 and
include the same two helper .pl's (with docs in win_compiling.html)
for Apache 1.3.13?

Benefits:
* Maintainers/contributors don't have to get dizzy remembering which
branch we are on, if we need to convert this branch or that, or
whatnot.
* The docs are identical for 1.3.13/2.0
* The conversion pl's remain the same on both platforms.
(rather than cvstodsp5.pl on 2.0 and cvstodsp6.pl on 1.3.13)
* The conversion from .dsp 6 -> 5 -> 6 is symetrical
* The conversion from .dsp 6 -> 5 -> 6 is -not- symetrical.
Changes commited to the tree will always be twigging the
!MESSAGE text lines.
Drawback:
* Version 5 will read version 6 without conversion, but not
understand the /ZI flag. Applies to Debugging mode, only.
This really only affects developers, not admins rolling
their own release.
Please opin if these issues weigh in favor of either
1) renaming the .pl's in the 1.3.13 helpers folder to cvstodsp6/dsp6tocvs.
or
2) converting the .dsp's in the 1.3.13 tree to dsp 6 format (via the script).

I'd rather some of the stuff in 1.3 remain as is. If there is no effective
benefit to upgrading them, then please leave them untouched.
