Actually the header files are a problem too, because you can't have 'em
without doing at least a "configure" to generate the machine-specific ones.
The configure would already fail if PHP weren't installed and --with-php
were mentioned. So the process would have to look something like
-- configure PG, but lie about your ultimate intentions
-- install bogus PG header files
-- build and install PHP
-- reconfigure PG, and hope you don't mess up by changing
anything except the --with-php flag
-- build and install PG
This is just not reasonable from a packaging standpoint.
