This looks really good.
Hmmm... Any chance of adding a 'WANT_PHP_SUPHP' flag as an equivalent
of the WANT_PHP_MOD or WANT_PHP_CLI sort of settings? I've got a
couple of ports (net/phpldapadmin, databases/phpmyadmin) where as this
patch stands when the user chooses 'WITH_SUPHP', I'd lose the
capability to depend on the OpenLDAP or MySQL extensions.
Not that I'm complaining too much, as at the moment in either case I'm
relying on a combination of pkg_message and the users' common sense to
get an appropriate set of extensions installed.
Cheers,
Matthew
