Does bundling anything really solve any problems?
Or does it actually create new ones? IMO, it only does the latter.
Look at mysql for example. Bundling of it didn't really solve
any problem, only released some time from replying to some
people who didn't understand why mysql functions didn't exist
in the PHP they used. It _did_ create new problems with some other
modules loaded in Apache, e.g. mod_auth_mysql.
Currently, the bundled mysql is not been updated. (it's 3.23.39)
Latest stable release is 3.23.49, AFAIK.

PHP != Java. :)
