Well, neither do other 'nix varieties, just Windows.  Glad to be of 
service.

Dunno about that - I don't program C, but I can handle this build/port 
stuff.  It would probably really be just another variety of mapscript.  
You might be able to run the CGI from the CLI, and from there from 
other apps.  And since the PHP needed is the CGI version, which is 
exactly the same as the CLI binary, you could run PHP-MapScript from 
the CLI.  You could probably do the same with Perl MapScript.  I could 
also just not know what the heck I'm talking about ^_^  but these seem 
like reasonable possibilities.
