Though I suspect that the main reason for your question was regarding
Windows support, here is the basic answer for each:
W -- If someone with strong Windows network programming skills gets
involved, perhaps
A -- Apache is heavily used in Evergreen
M -- Evergreen is not designed to run on MySQL, and is specifically
tuned for Postgresql
P -- Evergreen is written in Perl and C on the server side, and is XML
and JavaScript on the client side
Is that what you were looking for?
