Wow, after hearing that Acacia has anything to do with this, I am not surprised at all. I worked in the distance education department for a University a few years back. At that time, they were making rounds among the education industry, and sending letters asking for several hundred thousand dollars, or 5% of all profits made from a series of patents.
The patents? "A system of distributing video and/or audio information employs digital signal processing to achieve high rates of data compression" over cable, tv, telephone, and as they were implying, the internet. Their claim was that anyone streaming video or sound needed to pay up. I mean, honestly, transferring compressed data over a medium!? And of course they didn't go after larger University's that flat out told them they wouldn't pay...
Acacia is one of those companies at the bottom of the barrel. Even worse than SCO, because their whole business is suing over patents, like NTP.
You must be an Apache diehard like myself then--most people I know use lighthttpd. I've actually gotten it to work, if you give me a couple of days I'll post the steps on one of my blogs (http://snappaction.blogspot.com).
I don't think I was on MySQL 5 (it was several months ago I did this) but you may want to consider using the mysql-ruby C bindings. I found the pure ruby ones gave me database disconnects all over the place.
Yes, there is no slick installer that I know of, and yes, you will probably have to compile it yourself.... but it's an idea.
Good luck.
Eclipse's C++ plugin (CDT) has actually fixed the parsing issue your mentioning as of version 4, which is about beta quality right now (final release June 22). I ran across the same thing and gave up on version 3, when I realized it would take 2 hours to index our product source code. I haven't benchmarked the latest version, but I understand it has been completely redone.
In addition they've done a lot of usability tests and gotten rid of a lot of the complicated project set up. I tried out a simple hello world and got a working, debuggable, program in under 15 seconds. I'm hoping to see if it may be a viable alternative to Visual Studio here at work, simply because of its extensibility.
In case you are interested in getting the download, go to http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/ and check it out.

Alright, that's been posted.
