Yay!
Now, please start sending patches :-)

I don't have a "zlib" entry where I keep the build instructions for
software I've built, so it must mean that I managed to built zlib
successfully using the instructions in their build documentation, without
many steps or major changes. I don't remember seeing that A2070 error
before.

There was what?
Anyway, I have
LibD\apr-1.lib
Debug\libapr-1.lib
in my APR source tree. Maybe you have one of them but not the other?
IIRC the APR project files have several targets --- apr, libapr, and
others --- maybe you didn't build all targets you were supposed to?

You're ahead of me: I don't have httpd building on Windows. What
version of httpd did you use? I'll download that version and try the
win_compiling.html procedure again.

Yes. Another option is to use do_nasm.

My fault. It should work if you rename Makefile.pub to Makefile, or add
-f Makefile.pub
to the $(MAKE) invocation.
