This patch overlaps with some changes I did on my way home from
ApacheCon. I haven't committed them yet, but here's a summary:
1. Using --datadir to determine where PEAR PHP files go. With
--datadir=/usr/share or --datadir=/usr/share/php, PHP architecture
independent files go to /usr/share/php, and PEAR's PHP files go to
/usr/share/php/pear.
I've added your --with-pear option to override this.
2. Using --libdir to determine where extensions go. With
--libdir=/usr/lib or --libdir=/usr/lib/php, extensions are
installed in /usr/lib/php/<APIVER>. I've also shortened the
<APIVER> part so "no-debug" and "non-zts" are skipped. The
alternatives are now "20001222", "20001222-zts", "20001222-debug"
and "20001222-zts-debug".
3. Using --sysconfdir to determine php.ini path. The default is now
$prefix/etc.
4. The CGI version of PHP is always built and installed.
Let me know if you have any problems with these changes. They should
make it a lot easier for distributions to build PHP, because we
conform more to de-facto build conventions (at least on Linux). Also
you won't have to re-run configure and make to build the CGI in order
to run tests, the PEAR installer etc.
