yeah, I saw your reply previously that it's worky with PHP5, however
couldn't test (whereby it turned out iPlanet is available not only for
SunOS). But then I had the reply from the @Oracle devs and thought it's
were cleared. Please check what happened to Apache SAPI (just to estimate
the efforts), there's quite some change after the phpng and TLS merge. If
you think it'd be acceptable for you to port and maintain in the ufture,
so lets restart the vote right now and exclude sapi/nsapi.

Thanks.
