And some more.
Pierre mentioned that the firebird extension will be bundled with 5.3.3 but
AFAIK it didn't happened.
There are some info about the missing extensions here:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46971

Yeah, but building php or the extensions is not the easiest thing to do, on
linux you just type apt-get install php5-extension or pecl install
extension, but for windows:
- pecl install doesn't work on windows (obviously)
- http://pecl4win.php.net/ -> The pecl4win build box is temporarily out of
service. // Temporary my ass. :/
- setting up a (free) build environment for php on windows is PITA. at least
that was it, when I did last time.
there are multiple how-to, but almost all of them is outdated.
thanks again to Pierre ( http://www.php.net/~pierre/ ) for manually building
some extensions for windows

and AFAIK there is some problem with building the extension for the VC6 or
VC9 builds:

"About GMP, it won't make it with VC6, move to VC9 if you need it."

"snmp support has been restored in 5.3.3RC1 (VC9 only)"

and sybase_ct is VC6 only, so if you need both sybase_ct AND (enchant OR gmp
OR snmp) then you are screwed.

see above.
