Re: cvs commit: httpd-2.0/os/netware pre_nw.h modules.c Apache.def

[Brad Nicholes <BN...@novell.com>]

The reason why these are in a separate .h file is a compiler issue.  If the Metrowerk compiler worked like every other compiler, you would be correct.  The fact is that is doesn't which can and has been very frustrating. :(    pre_nw.h is not a file that is #include'd in any source file.  It is a file that is automatically included by the compiler itself.  Hopefully, someday we will actually build this product using a real compiler. ;-)

Brad... these seem to be the usual compiler munging... I expect though
they would be better placed in apr.hnw where they can do all apr-based
applications some good?  We expect apr.h to do all the compiler
and platform munging for us, so httpd doesn't have to :)

Of course, there are still a very few legitimate uses for the os/ directory,
but they are shrinking very quickly.
