What would people think about putting (back) in a snapshot of
libmicrohttpd sources under src/pmwebd, for use only on platforms
where the OS doesn't supply libmicrohttpd?
Seems like a "make work" project to me. Most of the plaftorms we care
about have the support, this will become more so over time one suspects.
On the down side there is the additional code maintenance burden (unless
you're suggesting a once off snapshot that is never refreshed ... that
sounds like an RFE just waiting to bite down the track).
As a general rule (and following what we've done in the past for Mac OS
X, AIX, BSD, Windows, ...), I'd prefer to see the
configure-build-package infrastructure be robust in the absence of some
platform services, so we can still build and install something useful on
lots of platforms, even if there are some backwaters where not all of
the PCP functionality is available.
