Based on what you've said, I think you'd find writing your own apache module a lot easier on Linux, than Cygwin. Cygwin (well, actually, limitations of the Windows DLL loader) require non-trivial patches to the build system to make DSO modules work. You can look at the Apache 2.0.55 source package in the distribution, if you like - I'm working on an Apache 2.2.0 package, which is more-or-less ready. The only thing holding me back from releasing it is that I need to get around to discussing how to handle the compatibility issues implied by the 2.0 -> 2.2 transition.
