+        Status: Bill is working on MPM and APR. Remaining work:
+        1. Add back ability to run Apache as a service

+        3. Get the MPM working in multi process mode (one parent & one child)

 RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
 
+    * Win32: Redirect stderr to the error log. This is tougher than it appears
+      because Apache for Windows now uses native file I/O libraries rather than
+      the CRT library.  No problem redirecting native I/O STDERR to the error log. 
+      However, we need to replace all the fprintf(stderr...) calls with something 
+      that will write to the native stderr handle instead of the CRT stderr handle.
+      Bleh.
+
+    * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls.
+
+    * Move I/O layering into APR.
+
+    * There are still a number of places in the code where we are loosing error
+      status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a system call and replacing
+      it with a generic error code)
+
+    * APRize the stat function. CRT stat() is about 30% slower on Windows than
+      the equivalent native Windows call. The APR call should return the Unix
+      style stat structure, just to keep it familier.
+
+    * Implement reliable piped logs on Windows
+      Status: Bill has prototype code (not reliable) in 1.3. Should be much 
+      cleaner with APR in 2.0.
+
     * Switch to autoconf, et al. for configuration.
 
     * Use APR to get rid of more platform dependancies.
