Following on from my last message, I found
http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/INSTALL and noticed that it
mentions building mod_fastcgi from the command line.

I did the following:

1) Downloaded the Win32 source for Apache 2.2 from
http://apache.mirror.rbftpnetworks.com/httpd/httpd-2.2.12-win32-src.zip.
2) Extracted it to C:\work\httpd-2.2.12
3) Edited APACHE_SRC_DIR in Makefile.nt to point to C:\work\httpd-2.2.12.
4) Ran "nmake -f Makefile.nt CFG=release".

I got the following output:

C:\work\mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0811090952\Win32>nmake -f Makefile.nt CFG=release

Makefile.nt(71) : fatal error U1088: invalid separator '::' on inference rule
Stop.

There are several instances of "::" in Makefile.nt. I tried altering
these to a single ":" instead on the offchance it would make a
difference, after which I got the following:

C:\work\mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0811090952\Win32>nmake -f Makefile.nt CFG=release

The only similarly-named files in my Apache source dir are apr.h.in
and apr.hw under C:\work\httpd-2.2.12\srclib\apr\include, not sure if
those are relevant somehow?
