Actually as I think about it... that is not the case even now. When we download the php source the base configure before compile is:
./configure --disable-all
Thus no use of PostgreSQL whatsoever.
I'm sure it is possible to get around it manually, but think about distributors. They probably compile PHP more to the tunes of --enable-everything. I don't think they will like it if we tell them that they need to switch to a two-stage build process or something.
Well I can't speak to anything but Linux. Most Linux distributions (at least the significant ones) break PHP up into several different packages and things like mysql and php are specifically different packages.
This is correct for FreeBSD also ... you build a 'central php' and add modules as seperate ports that are enabled thorugh an extensions.ini file ...
Same thing happens with the various 'components' of postgresql, each are built/installed as seperate packages, where if the appropriate headers are already installed on teh machine, the core distribution doesn't have to be re-downloaded/extracted ...
