But then the installed php wouldn't work either unless you fix the
php.ini first. :)

Besides, the 'make test' does NOT include the extension lines from the
php.ini. I added a fix for this long time ago to only load those shared
extensions which were currently build. Not sure in what PHP version it
was included in..but it is in the current PHP_5_2 branch.
