cvs commit: apache-1.3/src Configure PORTING
jim 98/04/21 14:00:44

Modified: src Configure PORTING
Log:
It's bogus to fail just because we don't
have an entry in conf.h for the OS... what the hell, give it a
try and continue with the build process. We may get lucky. And

we covered-our-asses because we told them all bets were off
