O.k. I am confused here. You do not need PHP DB support for plPHP. You only
need the php.so (once were done anyway). Which means that as long as PHP
is installed it will work, just like plperl or plpython.
The ONLY reason you would build PHP separately is if your stock installed
PHP didn't have a feature enabled that you want. This has nothing at all
to do with plPHP.
