[PATCH] Allow for using external liboniguruma

Heya, as a distribution we usually aim at using system libraries instead of bundled ones, both for security and maintainance reasons. PHP bundles liboniguruma (ext/mbstring/oniguruma) and currently does not allow for using an external copy of the lib. I hacked up a patch [1] which adds a new configure switch (--with-onig-dir) and builds against the system lib accordingly. It would be nice if it could get included in the official sources. Should be rather as easy as this patch should not (well, I tried, but who knows) break backwards compatibility. Even if it won't get included, I guess it's still useful to post it here so that other packagers can grab it as well. ;o) [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=151781&action=view -- Christian Hoffmann
