Thanks. Without doing a thorough analysis, I can already confirm my
suspicions:

* The configure line includes  '--without-gdbm' '--without-pspell'
'--disable-posix' '--disable-sysvmsg' '--disable-sysvshm'
'--disable-sysvsem'
* Installed extensions which are from PECL include apcu, mongodb, imagick,
newrelic, oauth, and redis

I don't want to imply that bundling has no value, but it's not a red line
preventing adoption.
