Still I would like to see a check for ../phpdoc-tools/php.bat or something like this, as jade and other things does not need to be on the path, but they are still found by configure. I feel a bit much to put php to the path, but I'll do this if I feel to uncomfortable adding the --with-php=php.bat every time to configure... Thanks for the tip. Goba
