Should extension inter-dependency of extensions be shown in the INI file.

For example, mbstring must be loaded before exif and mailparse, and
bz2 before bcompiler, as well as pdo before the pdo_xxxx

; extension =3D php_mbstring.dll
; extension =3D php_exif.dll ; Requires php_mbstring.dll to be loaded
before this extension
; extension =3D php_mailparse.dll ; Requires php_mbstring.dll to be
loaded before this extension

; extension =3D php_bz2.dll
; extension =3D php_bcompiler.dll ; Requires php_bz2.dll to be loaded
before this extension

Also, some extensions require external libraries ...

; extension =3D php_ibm_db2.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_ifx.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_ingres2.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_maxdb.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_mcve.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_netools.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_oci8.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_openssl.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_oracle.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pdo_ibm.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pdo_informix.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pdo_oci.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pdo_oci8.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pdo_pgsql.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pdo_sqlite_external.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_pgsql.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_ssh2.dll ; Requires external libraries
; extension =3D php_sybase_ct.dll ; Requires external libraries

; extension =3D php_iisfunc.dll ; Requires external services
; extension =3D php_sam.dll ; Requires external services

Whilst PHP4 is still present, there are some extensions which are
available, but not for PHP5+
; extension =3D php_db.dll ; Not available for PHP5+
; extension =3D php_domxml.dll ; Not available for PHP5+
