Hi,

1. According to Wikipedia [1] BeOS was released in 1995 and the latest
release was in 2000.

2. There is Haiku (OpenBeOS) project. Which looks like reimplementation of
BeOS API based on Linux kernel though. I checked Haiku package repository
[2] and didn't find APR/HTTPD packages.

3. APR contains separate code for BeOS (like 19 source code files)

Given all above I suggest to remove BeOS related source code from trunk,
unless someone comes forward and offers to maintain the BeOS code.

Partially discussed before:
