The base port. Without additional arguments, a make install clean will 
install the cli (command line interpreter) and mod_php.

This installs the cgi interpreter instead of the cli. Since they have 
the same name and are installed to the same location, you can only have 
one of these installed[1].

install (php and) the extensions necessary for mnogosearch.

>  php5-session-5.0.3_1

install session support for php

>  php5-tidy-5.0.3_1

(html) tidy extension for php.


Peter.

[1] In fact you can install both, with a bit of hand-rolling.
