I think the holy grail here is the ability to build a shared extension by
itself without actually building all of PHP and also being able to build a
small framework that can be exported to an external package such that an
extension can be distributed separately and have the ability to build as a
standalone shared extension outside of the PHP tree. This same external
package if placed in the PHP source tree in a dir under ext/ should be
buildable as a static extension. Once we have that along with a somewhat
complete API reference I think the number of third-party extensions will
start to explode.
