In essence "You can do what you like with the components of PHP,
provided you don't call the end result PHP", so yes, that is not a
problem.

Depends on what you mean by web components; the glue for each web
server lives in a separate SAPI DLL (or the php-cgi.exe) in the
windows build anyway.
You can certainly go through and strip-down ext/standard, but it is a
big task deciding what to keep and what to toss and it's *very*
unlikely that it will be supported in the main distro, making it much
more painful for you to maintain.
