I agree, but after having read about the extension it seems that this one is
an exception. It runs only on one web server (thttpd) with certain patches
applied to it. People who are compiling it would know what they are doing,
and installation process is well documented. I will still look into the
possibility to extend php_extension macro to accept the 3rd parameter with
value 'thttpd' which would mark the extension for compilation only with that
SAPI. Is my understanding of ircg correct?
Another thing: the macro that Sascha added is useful for
implementing --without-cli which I had planned to add.
