I'm not sure why either, but I would only welcome such as it does make
testing some extensions much easier, like we have some extensions that
at least in the past, like ext/exif and ext/mbstring that was never
compiled statically on Windows. Meaning the only way we could test
them was by doing something like by making a php.ini with the
following content in the output directory:

[php]
extension_dir =3D ./
extension =3D php_mbstring.dll
extension =3D php_exif.dll
...

You can specify in a command line argument to run-tests.php which
php.ini you wish loaded, or none at all afair which should ease not
having to modify makefiles and such.
