Subject: new win32 snapshot: changing .exe names
From: danielc@analysisandsolutions.com (Daniel Convissor)

Hi Folks:

Downloaded the latest snapshot, php5-win32-200401081130, and am enjoying 
the new file layout.

Both the CGI and CLI exe's are now in the base directory.  CLI is called 
"php.exe" and the CGI is called "php-cgi.exe."  Please consider reversing 
the names.  Making the CLI "php-cli.exe" and the CGI "php.exe" will make 
installation less of a hastle.

Users and their computers expect the php.exe to be the CGI and are using
it to serve web pages.  While having each user individually change their
files isn't insurmountable, it's an unnecessary step for many thousands of
people.  And for some people, it's a step they'd need to repeat over and
over as they unzip new snapshots.

By the way, thanks for renaming the dll.  I'm looking forward to running 4
and 5 concurrently as CGI's on my windows development system.

Thanks for your consideration,

--Dan
