As it's quite hard/expensive for Windows users to compile their own extensions, is there a possibility to add some PECL-extensions into the Windows releases? Mainly there are ext/radius and ext/imagick, which I know do compile on Windows (and wouldn't add that much to the download, since ext/imagick for example does not statically compile the whole imagemagick libraries) Would be great, if someone could add them to the windows compile scripts on snaps.php.net.

    Why not make a separate package of the extra extensions..?
    in general its a good idea, but I'm thinking about how Webspace-Providers are installing and maintaining PHP, everything what is not in the "standard" distribution doesen't exist for them.

It's already a problem to convince them installing additional "standard" extensions or PEAR. One possibility would be to move nearly (some extensions should stay in the PHP-dist like DB-extensions) all extensions to this extra package, then they have no chance to come around installing this extra package. bye, -- ------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Michael Bretterklieber - Michael.Bretterklieber@jawa.at JAWA Management Software GmbH - http://www.jawa.at Liebenauer Hauptstr. 200 -------------- privat ------------ A-8041 GRAZ GSM: ++43-(0)676-84 03 15 712 Tel: ++43-(0)316-403274-12 E-mail: michael@bretterklieber.com Fax: ++43-(0)316-403274-10 http://www.bretterklieber.com ------------------------------- ---------------------------------- "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972
