That's a hen and egg problem then - one would need PHP to build PHP and we don't have the infrastructure to provide binaries for all the platforms we support (there's more than Linux and Windows)

That's what I thought too, but you still still have the same (chicken/egg) issues of PHP being dependent on what OS the AutoTools/CMake facility works on.

These, however, do not have PHP as prerequisite, so they have no no chicken and egg (loop) dependency, just a straight dependency. Wietse Furthermore CMake is present in many platforms, CMake have their own bootstrap (based on shell scripts and multiplatform) and they did so much work to begin to reinvent the wheel by ourselves (IMHO)
