Remove mostly all references to APACHE and CGI_BINARY from the code.
- Apache include files are no longer included by any PHP code, except for the Apache SAPI module.
- No server specific code is in any of the base PHP code.
Still left to be done:
- Eliminate any references to APACHE from the few remaining modules.
- Move request_info.c's logic to SAPI
- Modify the regex function names, and globals, so that we can always
include them, without having to fear any interference with Apache;
Always use the bundled regex library
- added support for externally built modules,
- improved support for in-tree shared modules,
- fixed diversion bugs,
- configure displays some informative messages,
- faster static build
(libtool isn't used anymore for compiling non-PIC objects),
- dependencies comparable to automake's without requiring GNU make or GCC,
- working make clean for non-GNU makes.
system, apache, or php's regex library by using the --with-regex option.
"php" is the default; if you use --with-apache in combination with
Apache 1.3.x, the default is "apache".
and php_regex.h figures out which regex header files to include and
defines symbols that prevents other stuff from including the wrong versions
of regex header files.
with libtool components
* SAPI targets can enable thread-safe mode and define
shared/static/program build target
* all configure scripts use the same config.cache
* phplibdir is $(top_builddir)/modules to avoid
permission problems
* sapi/*/Makefile.inc are gone
* runpath handling cleaned up
* top-level Makefile.in obsoleted through Makefile.am
* --enable-versioning uses libtool's cleaner and more

I've defined a few macros to help with module/request init/startup function definitions.
Basically:
PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_RINIT_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_RSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(module)
PHP_MINFO_FUNCTION(module)
These will expand to proper function prototypes.
Now to specify these in the module entry, use:
PHP_MINIT(module)
PHP_MSHUTDOWN(module)
PHP_RINIT(module)
PHP_RSHUTDOWN(module)
PHP_MINFO(module)
I've updated all modules in ext/standard and everything from ext/apache to ext/db.
If you can, please update your module to use these macros.
The first 5 work like their Perl counterparts. slice() returns a chunk of the array
specified by offset and length arguments.
Backport to PHP3 and docs will be coming soon.
