It does? Apache/Win32 actually names the '.dll' as mod_rewrite.so on
windows. There's nothing special about the '.dll' filename extension,
a similar example is the .cpl control panel extensions, which are .dll's
that are loaded into the system settings schema, .scr for screensaver
dll's following that API, etc.
In general, it's a good idea. My builds of php on win32 *are* entirely
in the unix-style, for my customers who need to toggle between win32 and
unix. It makes the documentation much simpler when you don't need two
entirely different sets.
