To be honest I have no idea what an "xampp extension" would be, but the OP's question was about a module for Apache.
See the topic: Apache module on XAMPP. I simply shortened to "xampp extension". Of course, Xampp is only an abbrev. - but i am pretty sure, you all know what is meant.
Exactly, isn't that what I said? Looks like that is what I said when I said
the question was about an Apache module.
An Apache module is an Apache module regardless of and completely separate of Xampp. The only thing that does make any difference is x86 vs. x64, platform (win/os x/sun spark/etc) and the version of Apache you are compiling for (2.0/2.2/2.4). I suppose I was ingnorant assuming the OP was not wanting a linux module to stuff into his/her Windows Apache.

Nope, these files are installed via the xampp-win32-1.8.3-4-VC11-installer.exe installer as well, I just installed it on my thrash box to make sure.

I did not say its wrong, but you cannot take any httpd source and libraries - and i did not know that there is a 7zip package including libraries and include files. They have to match the Xampp configuration.
"Any" granted, but everything needed to build this module short of the compiler are in your installed Xampp, since that is what you would be building the module for, no?.

Simply do it.
But, you said it couldn't! You said it would require "Linux (not Windows)". Your #2 was correct, but it has been supplied Xampp for Windows was installed, at least the most recent zip/7z/exe. Your #1 (needing Linux) however was wrong.
I have done it anyway, I built the module, for both x86 & x64, for both Apache 2.2.x & 2.4.x and two different VC versions one being the same as these Xampp packaged Apache Lounge binaries.

Again - simply do it. If you can build a working module under Xampp - ok. [Linux rant removed]
I can, I did, you could if you had the need and the OP could.
