Why it needs to be "at the same time"? I don't see any use case where it
would matter if you run one command or two commands to install it. In
fact, if it's such a problem there are many tools that allow you to
perform multiple actions by running one command. Various package
managers all do that, for example.

It seems to me you're reinventing packaging systems. I don't see why we
should invent our own and why our own should take form of putting PHP
code into compiled binaries (yet less why suddenly it is the "only
way"). Many languages have extension systems and packages that involve
binaries - Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. AFAIK none of them puts source code
into binaries.
