Many things are supposed to be done at a given time and then failed.
Shit happens as one likes to say. Anyway, it does not make 5.3.3 less
stable or bad, and given the amount of complains about firebird
(except Lester, who does it endlessly since 5.3.0), it is not a big
deal.

I think you really need two things:

- Read the answers I gave you already
- Read the doc, build PHP or PHP extensions on Windows is very easy.
To get the right libs or build non compatible lib is not, but that's
not something we can fix easily.
  See http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

Because the lib does not support VC6. Same for Enchant for example, or
other libs.
