Whatever changed here, my problems building mapserver with PHP
Mapscript on Redhat Enterprise 4 are now resolved.  Before this change,
whenever I built with PHP support, all variants would core dump loading
a mapfile (CGI, Python, PHP, etc.).

I have been working to build mapserver as a clean RPM with Redhat's PHP
and Postgres packages, so that only minimal changes from the base OS
need to be made.  I made a slight modification to the PHP packages to
install the regex object files in /usr/include/php/regex (with the
include files), and built a few support packages.

Almost all of the packages that I've used are based on the
mappinghacks.com packages, and I'm releasing my modified versions here:

If anyone's interested in them, I'm going to be maintaining versions of
these packages for RHEL 4.
