I already have an instance where this has been extremely useful. My 
current project required me to work with some third party com objects. A 
couple of them required me to set properties with arguments which as far 
as I can tell hasn't been implemented yet for php. I compiled the 
extension on my w2k3/IIS box with the latest snaps release of php5 and 
it worked great. I was able to load in the Win32::OLE extension and 
manipulate those objects. Without this I would have probably ended up 
doing some bungled php -> perl -> php variable passing solution, thanks 
much!
