Apache 1.3 has their own official port to WinNT and 95.  From what I hear,
it compiles and runs rather nicely.  Instead of forking off additional
services like the UNIX version, I understand that it actually operates as
a multithreaded single server process. 

Their version comes as Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 projects, however.  This
means, among other things, that it doesn't need the cygnus winsup DLL to
run.  It also means to compile the source code, you need MS VC++...

Take a look at http://www.apache.org and read up on Apache 1.3... :)
