Re:macros/defines questions - am attempting to create (install) parallel versions

I just discovered a pleasant surprise - in all the times I've typed ./configure --help, I was always given the generic GNU configure dialog about how the application may have different options, yadda, yadda. What a pleasant surprise, the PHP version provides some real relevant help! :) But inspite of it, I'm still left with a few questions. I'm afraid I'm still unclear what the option/switch: --program-prefix=PREFIX (prepend PREFIX to installed program names) means. Will/can it help me with the above? Or will it allow me to install $PREFIX/bin/php-cgi,php-config,and phpize as $PREFIX/bin/php5-cgi,php5-config, and php5ize? > > My main points of interest is if/where there are any already pre-defined macros that will > assist > me in changing the already defined php directory with a directory named php5 > > $PREFIX/etc/php && $PREFIX/include/php && $PREFIX/lib/php > to > $PREFIX/etc/php5 && $PREFIX/include/php5 && $PREFIX/lib/php5 I see there is --includedir=, which will allow me to define $PREFIX/include/php as $PREFIX/include/php5. Yes? Is there an equivalent macro for this? If so, what is it's name? I see there is --libdir=, which will allow me to define $PREFIX/lib/php as $PREFIX/lib/php5 (if I understand it correctly). But is there a macro I can use in place of it?

Looks like --sysconfdir= will provide the define I need to choose the $PREFIX/etc/php5 directory for the module/extension config related stuff. But is there already a macro I can use for this? If so, what is it's name? Anyway, I /think/ I'm getting closer. But could /greatly/ use some help. :) Thank you for all your time and consideration.
