My personal heretical naive opinion is that a configure summary should print out pretty much the same thing I would get if I did phpinfo() in the make that resulted from this build, and the more similar to that you can get, the better. Since 'make' now builds multiple SAPIs at once (e.g. apxs + CLI + CGI) that part should be different, though. YMMV -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
