Right, and how does this answer my question above about making use of the 
old PHP4_OPTFILE that was in the older ports?  Now, I figured out that the 
one change from the old versin to this one is that you have to set both 
WITH_ and WITHOUT_ variables ... but, the big thing that I don't like with 
the new version is that it uses an OPTIONFILE define, which could cause 
problems if another ports decides to use the same thing ...
