Oh, it's fine then.  My above comment was because you said "one of
them" applied to a different directory.  I assumed everything else
were relative to the same directory.  Sorry.

 * The new submitted port only adds three diffs, and they don't seem so big.

Well, your original PR was over 2,000 lines long, most of which were
new patches.  That counts as fairly large.

 * OTOH Brian Waters is maintaining a fully prepatched version in a single
 * tarball, when he ports his version (he will) w3c-httpd can be nuked.
 * Although his version is better, I don't want to maintain (or port) his
 * version because it's based on version 3.0, while our version is 3.0A.

That's probably better.
