I don't see how that is a problem.  You can build --with-pcntl or not.

Also there are many differences in the source which would require
a hughe amount of if-then-else.

That doesn't interest end users and isn't really a problem beyond the tiny scope of the very few php-dev developers who work on cgi_main.c.

And isn't the fraction having problems with renaming CGI to php-cgi
itself a very small group compared to the overall of user (only on win*)?

Hmm no, it effects all CGI users, not just Windows one. There are a hell of a lot more CGI users than there are CLI users.

And from my guesses in a short time the amount of users working with
CLI will outweigh those heavily. (And as somebody mentioned already
windows users are used to have problems with php until now. Only the
4.3 release will fix some trouble there.)

I don't think this will ever happen. PHP in CLI mode is popular around php-dev, but it's tiny beyond php-dev (and maybe pear-dev). PHP CGI is huge.

And no, PHP under Windows is rock solid as a CGI, so "they're already used to having problems" approach doesn't apply (it wouldn't have applied either way in my opinion, as having problems is not a reason to add another problem, but still).
