Yeah, I've been asking off and on about this for the last 2 years. I 
always see one or two "works for me" especially under Windows, and three 
or four "no way" So I dunno... I've not been brave enough to try it on 
our production systems.

Mapserver/Mapscript just compiles as you would for the PHP CGI: point to 
the PHP source tree and it builds php_mapscript.so
