Now it is true that you don't need this in for plphp. But if you want
php to have pg client support you need pg built first. And no sane
packager is going to build php twice.
Actually, if you look through FreeBSD ports, this is exactly what
happens ... when you build /usr/ports/devel/php4, it builds a
"vanilla" php, no modules ... if you want pgsql support, you go into
/usr/ports/databases/php4-pgsql, and build that (which has a
dependency on lang/php4) ...
So, for plphp, a "port" would just have to install
/usr/ports/lang/php4 to build, but would not necessarily build
php4-pgsql ...
it is done this way to avoid packagers having to build a monolithich
"contains everything" php4 ...
How ugly. [remaining comments unprintable]
