To change the configuration of any port that uses the OPTIONS
mechanism, simply do:

    # make config

in the port directory.

Note that with the new PHP setup, most of the configurable bits are
now in the lang/php4-extensions or land/php5-extensions ports -- not
that you need to install either one of those.  They're just meta-ports
where you can select a bunch of php extensions easily.  Since each
extension is a separate port now, you can just go round and install
all the one you want.

Nb. To get PHP to load the shared modules correctly, you'll need to
change the 'extension_dir setting in /usr/local/etc/php.ini.  I found
that setting it like this:

    extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/20040412/"

did the trick.
