There is no good reason the BEGIN_EXTERN_C() haven't been included.
We'd welcome a patch. Check out the other places we do put these to get an
idea where they should be.
In any case, one thing I've wanted to do for a long time is get PHP to
compile with the freeware Borland C++ compiler. However, as it doesn't read
.dsp it would have been lots of work.
Any chance you can export makefiles from the Builder once things work for
you and share them with us? If it works nicely you could be the maintainer :)
It would allow people who don't have Visual C++ to compile PHP 4 on Windows.
Thanks,
Andi
