Now, let's assume for a moment that the PHP code maintainers are still willing to do it. At least the configure options for the components could be harmonized : --with-component
     Search for component in system directories. If that is
     not found, use the bundled version (if any).
--with-component=bundled
     Use the bundled version. Suggested by Moriyoshi.
--with-component=dir
     Use the installed component in prefix dir.
--without-component
     Do not use component.

I'm all for that solution. I don't want to dive into the thou shalt not bundle discussion, I think bundling is a good idea for certain components, and giving users the ability to override that is even better. Zeev
