It is absolutly needed for distribution purposes. It is generally strange to compile in, f.e. IMAP extension, into main PHP binary and make it available in Linux distribution because it implies additional unneeded dependencies. That's why almost all extensions like IMAP, MySQL, PGSQL, sockets, GD, PDF, etc could and should be compiled out of PHP4 source. This also includes more manageable RPM or DEB specs. Imagine build of 15-20 packages from one source RPM. For example, in our ALT Linux distribution we are packaging 18 PHP4 extensions including PHP-GTK which specifically designed to be build as SCE. -- Sincerely yours, Alexander Bokovoy The Midgard Project | ALT Linux Team | Minsk Linux Users Group www.midgard-project.org | www.altlinux.ru | www.minsk-lug.net -- You won't skid if you stay in a rut. -- Frank Hubbard
