Hi Mike,
Check out the other email thread I started with the Subject: of "how do I
build 1.2-rc1 on Windows minus apache integration? " (I don't have the
answer there, I just reposed the question there to break out of the current
thread.)
I'm wondering if anyone is seeing this thread given that I've received no
replies on it. Can you let me know if you saw/see it in your emailbox?
