Matt, while I'm amazed at how far you're getting and I don't know what the application you're trying to deploy is, I'd humbly suggest that you think seriously about building a web front end for your application rather than trying to build and maintain a mixed-world (UNIX+WinXP+Exceed+???) application. Apache is designed to be scalable and failure-tolerant, and the web interface is/can be relatively portable. Your talent and time are better spent solving many problems for your org rather than getting caught up in one.
