I'm in favour of looking for php.ini in the same dir as the executeable
module - as in the path part of GetModuleFileName(), so it will work for
DLL as well as EXE versions.

I'm a bit dubious of using the registry for configuring PHP, particularly
when multiple installations/versions are present; I'm not actively against
it, as it will no doubt prove useful to quite a few people, but personally,
I would not use it.
