PHP-GTK installation is indeed covered by the PHP-GTK manual, and also the
PHP-GTK wiki.  The problem we see, over and over again, is that users have
followed the PHP manual's instructions to install PHP on a win32 system in a
way that precludes any secondary installation..  Leaving PHP-GTK aside for
the moment, I think you're going to see problems with this during the
crossover period between PHP 4 and PHP 5, too.

I don't think it matters where you put the information, so long as it's not
hidden away in a dusty corner where nobody ever finds it!  What's wrong with
having a basic installation page with Edin's advice, and a more flexible
guide for multiple installations nearby?

I don't understand why you think that information belongs in a FAQ, given
that it's quite a large chunk of info... but hey, it'd better be somewhere
than nowhere at all!
