Hello internals!

I have almost completed a SAPI, that allows NodeJS scripters to enable =
PHP from within their HTTP servers.

Originally, I wanted to write this extension just for my own use, but as =
I see the many =84dirty=93 hacks that people use to run PHP inside their =
http server, I decided to make this extension more available, once its =
done and working.

However, the build process is a bit complicated, as it plays between =
worlds; the autoconf based PHP build system and the GYP driven node =
extension build system. So far, I am working on the first solution: =
Building the extension using PHP=92s build mechanism.

As I know the procedure for building nodejs addons by their commands, =
I=92d just need to add a custom action/rule to the build, that builds a =
static library/bundle with .node as file extension isntead of the usual =
.so/.dll.

How do I do that? Its two C++ files (tinythread.cpp, v8php.cc) that need =
to be compiled. v8php.cc houses the entire SAPI code as well as the =
nodejs bindings.

And as a side note: When the user has previously built PHP with ZTS and =
Embed-SAPI, so that libphp5 is built, can they just link a SAPI against =
that? I see that php-config lists the SAPIs, and I wondered if there is =
a generated file that lists/depends on all the SAPIs.

Kind regards,=20
