Hi all,

I'm still trying to find various decisions of configure of php-5.1.1

It seems --with-layout is not awfully described:
Set how installed files will be laid out.  Type is one of "PHP" or "GNU"

When I look in configure.in I see that it sets oldstyleextdir variable, 
and, it changes only where php extensions are installed by default.

With that said, old style is:

$libdir/extensions/$extbasedir

while new style is:

$libdir/$extbasedir

Question is, why have we switched to new style, removing extensions dir?

I've searched archive of this mailing list, but I couldn't find the 
reason...

Is it ok to remove $extbasedir, so I only have extensions in 
extensions/* and not
extensions/$ZEND_MODULE_API_NO?

thank you for your time,
N::
