I have just set up apache on my machine to see if I could reproduce this.
This is what I did:

Install apache from setup.exe
$ cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a -k -d "CYGWIN apache"
(I have a global CYGWIN="binmode tty ntsec" in the system environment)
Edit httpd.conf:
    Set ServerName to silence a warning
    Set User and Group to "#18" (Yes, I'm lazy, and no, I'm not going to be
leaving this running!)
$ cygrunsrv -S apache
View the Apache test page in Internet Explorer. It works!

(I did get a "Service has not started" at one point, but that was when I
made a typo in httpd.conf. Info was dumped to /var/log/apache.log)

I don't see how this simple success story will help you much, apart from
confirming that it is possible with dll 1.3.18-1.

Max.
