I think, it would be nice to add information to one place, the documentation
about Apache 2 support.
1. It's not production ready
2. If someone want to set it up, how to do it (Linux, Windows)
3. What PHP versions work with what Apache 2 versions
4. It should be noted, that Apache 1 support is continued ;)

Doh, it would be nice to stick to some final names ;)
NOTE: cca. 80% of the user notes on the Apache setup page deals with
Apache 2 installation. We should add verified info to the docs, and
delete those notes. There are many sites offering a php4apache2.dll
to download. These can harm our users, as they can contain any
vulnerable code, which our users download, just because there is no
official support/documentation for Apache...
