Hello,
I submitted a patch that fixes Mingw support for APR and it adds shared l=
ibraries support too (in other words, it can generate DLL now).
I believe it is under evaluation.
APR-UTIL needs a fix too, but unfortunately as I wrote in previous email =
I got a little trouble when I tried to rebuild the configure script.
I usually rebuild configure scripts with cygwin because I think that part=
 of mingw's auto(re)conf has some issues with CR and LF characters.
Don't know... perhaps I'm missing some packages (but I installed everythi=
ng in cygwin distribution).
I hope somebody could eventually help me, perhaps by committing the chang=
e and then I will test it.
Me too I'm waiting for fixed support for Mingw, since I need it for testi=
ng Mingw's port of SVN...

Sincerely,

Carlo Bramini.
