In the other way, SPL requires compiled-in XML library because if even I can 
get XML in shared extension then SPL will be without SimpleXMLIterator, etc. 
Should I consider spl with simplexml as basic extensions?

I'd like to have very light php binary so it could be used as interpreter for 
system scripts.

Still it is not fixed. The readline library is GPL and is not compatible with 
PHP license, so the libedit is the only choise.
