Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Compiling extensions
From: phpdev@gmail.com (Jeremy Johnstone)

I have proposed it to PECL a while back (like June I think), not sure
on the status of the proposal though. Because of the nature of why I
am using this extension, I need to precompile it for as many platforms
as possible and use it as a dynamically loaded module (it's basically
a script licensing system). I know this isn't the most idea solution,
but for my needs it is basically the only one available which works
the way I want.

P.S. - (off-topic reply) You must know me then I guess. I have
everything but OSX available in my server rack in my house, so yes I
could do it that way. Was just hoping for an easier solution. Guess I
might just have to cave in and buy me an Apple if there is no other
way.
