Interesting, I didn't do that, but it just ignored those directives. (In 
fact, I'd assumed they were commented already, since it was running fine, 
but they actually aren't commented).

Oops.

I forgot to document:

Apache2 requires cygserver.
Make sure cygserver is running, and that your CYGWIN envvar contains 
"server".

Apache has standardized on .so - even for their native Win32 build.
In any case, it really doesn't matter - you can dlopen() whatever you want.
Plus *not* naming something .dll seems to be the only way to stop libtool 
trying to install it in a ../bin/ directory relative to where you actually 
tell it to install.
