Re: skeleton module?

Hi Jouni, Your create_module script is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm an experienced C programmer, but I'm new to PHP. I've been trying to create my own extension, but have had no luck. I tried the ext_skel script and followed its instructions, but that didn't work. I also tried creating a self contained extension by following the instructions in the README.SELF-CONTAINED-EXTENSIONS file and that was broken too. The phpize script it refers to calls "libtoolize" which doesn't exist in the php4.0.0 distribution. If you could point me to your "create_module" script, I'd love to give it a try. Also, I'm wondering if there's any roadmap, guidelines or documentation regarding the php build environment.
