PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:

    * mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects.

      Note - this is required to avoid hangups of socket #64, #128

      as Microsoft set aside 64 reserved values.

      Trunk version of patch:

        http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=428029

      2.2.x version of patch:

            Merged subversion comments: http://people.apache.org/~rpluem/patches/mod_deflate_rework/inflate_output.log

        The patch for the inflate output filter requires the patch for the

        deflate output filter.

        Alternately, substitute mod_deflate.c of trunk (at r483597) which maps

        to the same result as the net patches.

      wrowe notes: I can't vote on this, nor can most; if you mean to propose

      backporting trunk/ to branches/2.2 for mod_deflate, I'd back that.

      rpluem: I am slightly confused now. What do you propose exactly?

              Take the existing mod_deflate.c from trunk and move it over

              to branches/2.2? This would be exactly the same as applying my

              patches as mod_deflate.c of branches/2.2 will be the same as

              mod_deflate.c of the trunk (r483597) after applying the patches.

    * Allow htcacheclean and httxt2dbm to link apr/apr-util statically

      like the older support programs.

     2.2.x version of patch:

       Trunk version works (requires handling of CHANGES and ap_mmn.h

       conflict though)

     wrowe notes: Adding to ease migration to 2.4 - good.  Deprecating 

                  any directive in a .even released branch, bad.

     jim notes: it's more an enhancement to AcceptMutex than a

                depreciation of LockFile... no regressions are

                introduced.

     wrowe adds: Isn't it time for SSL/FTP/JK/FTP who all need the very

                 same syntax to benefit from one generic implementation

                 (in httpd, not apr, since it's config syntax specific).

   * rotatelogs: Produce useful error messages for open() failures.
