   Darwin (OS X):
-   Apache 2.0 relies heavily on the use of autoconf and libtool to provide
-   a build environment.  Darwin provides these tools,  but they are
-   an earlier release,  and for the most part,  do not work well.
-   If you are interested in developing under Darwin,  we recommend
-   that you obtain and install replacement versions of what are
-   normally installed on Darwin (and OS X, as of v10.1.4).  If you

+   is installed as 'glibtool' to avoid conflicting with the Darwin
+   'libtool' program.  Apache 2 knows about this so that's not a
+   problem.
+
+   As of OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), the bundled versions work perfectly. Partly
+   this is due to the fact that /bin/sh is now 'bash' and not 'zsh' as
+   well as the fact that the bundled versions are up-to-date: 
+   autoconf 2.52 and (g)libtool 1.4.2.
+
+   Earlier versions of OS X are not so fortunate, and the bundled tools
+   are not only older versions, but also, for the most part, do not work
+   well.  If you are interested in developing under Darwin, we

+   are normally installed on Darwin (and OS X, as of v10.1.5).  If

    code that still must be applied for them to fully work.  A useful

    You will note that GNU libtool should actually be installed as

+================
+  HP-UX:
+   The dlopen() system call in HP-UX has problems when loading/unloading
+   C++ modules. The problem can be resolved by using shl_load() instead
+   of dlopen(). This is fixed in the Apache 2.0.44 release.
+   To enable loading of C++ modules, the httpd binary has to be linked with
+   the following libraries :
+
+   HP-UX (11.0 / 11i):
+      When using shl_load        : "cpprt0_stub.s -lcl"
+      When using dlopen          : "cpprt0_stub.s -lcl -lCsup"
+
+   HP-UX (11i version 1.5 and greater):
+      When using dlopen/shl_load : "cpprt0_stub.s -lcl -lunwind"
+
+   The cpprt0_stub.s can be downloaded from the web site :
+      http://h21007.www2.hp.com/hpux-devtools/CXX/hpux-devtools.0107/0083.html
