Apache 2.2 only works with the thread-safe version. This is not mentioned
anywhere on the web page :-(( I lost 30 minutes figuring out what was wrong, as
Apache's error message doesn't really point in this direction.

Please document ASAP what "thread safe" and "non thread safe" means on the
Windows download page, I have no clue which package I should choose.
Anything with the word "safe" in it surely should have top priority for bug
resolution, but this easy to solve bug is not moving!

Description:
------------
The new "PHP For Windows" download page offers "Thread Safe" and "Non Thread
Safe" binaries but it doesn't provide any information to make a choice.
Expected result:
----------------
Thread safety is a technical term that's likely to be unknown by most PHP
developers. There should be a brief explanation about its meaning and
consequences so the user is able to download the appropriate binary.
Actual result:
--------------
The left column contains a detailed explanation about VC6 vs VC9 versions but
there's no mention to thread safety.
