I disagree and would argue that most people do not want to build
extensions themselves and instead prefer binary packages provided by
their OS distribution.
But even if people are comfortable with using a tools such as pickle
to download, compile, install, manage, etc. extensions for the PHP
interpreter I don't think it is a good idea to ship it with PHP.
It's two different things, language runtime and extension manager,
that server two different purposes and thus should be kept separate.
