Hey all

Looks like you must have MSVC++ to build APR on Windows... isn't
there some way to build it with MingW (GCC ported to win32) or some
other Open Source compiler?

I'm pretty sure that you *can*, but I would be a little leery of building 
a portability layer on top of another portability layer.
