		I may be able to speak to the above 'configure'
		err.  Some of my hosts are not running 4.7 or 4.8,
		but 4.[78]-PRERELEASE.  In at least one port, the
		pre-processor checks for the version number; 
		if < 4.7; if > 4.8...  

		Until I move up to 4.9, each time I upgrade, 
		I have do hack the src a wee bit. You might 
		grep -r the mod_php5 src and see.
