Yes if you want to compile php_imap.dll yourself than you need all these
tools, but luckily kind folks in the PHP community compile it for you. So if
you download the full binary from www.php.net
(http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.1.1-Win32.zip) you
can simply include it in php.ini.
So I do not at all understand the provider's problem.
I would not recommend using dl(), because a) I think it has been deprecated
more or less and b) it is not so fast.
