None of the other SAPIs are configured, period;  The little 
configuration they do have is done using php.ini.
This SAPI requires much more configuration - and I agree it's 
equivalent to web server configuration - but given that it's going to 
be bundled in PHP, it should use the same syntax.

For me it is a requirement before the code makes it into a released 
version of PHP, and I think many others think that way if past 
discussions are any indication.  That's what RFCs are for - if people 
can just go ahead and implement their original thoughts without 
paying attention to feedback, why bother?
Personally I think that the person pushing the code should be 
responsible for implementing the feedback to the RFC (or getting 
others to do it).
