I found out the hard way that phpize won't build some extensions like
ext/openssl because they have no config.m4, only a config0.m4. I could not
find a reason why this shouldn't work and propose the patch below for phpize
to support config0.m4 as well as config9.m4.

This will generate a standalone extension configure with all the same
extension options as a static builds. If extensions expressly rely on the
fact that phpize doesn't support these then we have a problem. I could not
find any historical discussion on the topic.

With this patch the following standard extensions can now be build via
phpize which couldn't before:

ext/libxml
ext/openssl
ext/pcre
ext/zlib
