I strongly disagree. I will repeat it again: They are production ready
and we do support them. The src are the apache's ones and any bugs are
fixed there, not in some random repository. Apache does support vc9
from a build point of view, vc10 too. They simply don't give a damned
about windows builds.

Again, Apache does not provide any official builds, they don't plan
(as of today stand) to do so nor to move to anything else that what
they have now.

If security is the matter, then I wonder (reallly hardly wonder) why
in the world do you rely on VC6 builds until now. That's a mistery to
me.

They use VC8 for their builds. not vc9. Anyway, if you use Zend
Server, please ask them for support, we don't support their builds.
