I don't see how that would work. The command-line tool would pull down the tarball, phpize it to pull in the local configuration settings, then build the extension. Doing all this from an internal PHP call doesn't make any sense to me. That's like saying that phpize should be an internal PHP function instead of the current shell script that it is now. -Rasmus
