Thanks.

I think we can just begin with -4.  IIRC, it's not the first
package.  Our subversions are just way smaller than in most Linux
distros :-)

Btw., I've found the description how to install apache as service
under cygrunsrv.  The only problem was that it's on a html page
so I first found it after I already had installed apache under inetd.

There's a small glitch in there.  It uses the /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
path instead of /usr/sbin/httpd.  

I tried to start apache under cygrunsrv using the description but
it forks as I expected, so cygrunsrv reports

  cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
  The service has not been started.

and I couldn't contact apache with a browser even if there was an
instance of apache running.  While there's not the option to
start it correctly under cygrunsrv... do I have to give some
other option?  In my httpd.conf I changed

  ServerType inetd

back to

  ServerType standalone

and added

  User Guest
  Group Guests

That apache process was running under SYSTEM account, though.  Am I
doing something wrong?
