Bug description:  phpize php_autoconf security fix

Description:
------------
Since I've only installed PHP the first time, please
route this the the correct place.

There are many reports that resemble this:

   /usr/local/bin/phpize:
   /tmp/tmpEcSnL3/apd-1.0.1/build/shtool:
   /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
   Cannot find autoconf. Please check your autoconf
   installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF environment
   variable is set correctly and then rerun this script.

   ERROR: `phpize' failed

The problem is the pear command seems to be be violate
usual security precautions.

That is mounting /tmp with the noexec option disallows
the execution of /tmp/*/shtool. The fix seems to be
maybe checking the executability of scripts on /tmp
first and prompting the user for an alternative
directory first.

The ugly work around is to change /etc/fstab to allow
/tmp files to be executed... Shudder...

Reproduce code:
---------------
1) In /etc/fstab:

   /dev/hda3 /tmp ext3 defaults,noexec 1 0

2) reboot

3) pear install pecl/pdflib
