AC_LD_SHARED

[Howard Butler]

Frank,

When I was updating AC_LD_SHARED to build shared libs on osx and 
*nix, I noticed that it was only switched on if PHP was enabled.  I 
didn't quite know how to proceed.

I would also add that the shared lib is named differently than our 
normal -lmap, so it shouldn't interfere with how things currently 
build if it was built.
