It allows you to remove all bundled libraries from PHP, and therefore forces you to manually satisfy all library dependencies. There was agreement on php5-dev@ awhile ago, and no one complained on internals@, and its important for the xml stuff (next battle, I guess. :) The idea is that I want the extensions to be separate from the libraries that they bundle. For example (although, atm we don't have anything that really takes advantage of this), I might want to not have ext/xml, but I would want ext/wddx and ext/libxmlrpc. Or, going into the useful, I might want to switch the underlying implementation of all these things to use libxml2, when that becomes bundled (again, a different argument for a different time.) php5/bundle allows this to be cleanly implemented (and *quite* a few people have shown that they want it). -Sterling -- "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Gandhi
