RE: PHP and MySQL

Contrary to belief, and the installation documentation (and I know I'll
confuse this poor person so kinda ignore me, but for everyone else...)

You do NOT need to put any of these files in the %windir% or %system%,
matter of a fact our machine build policies will NOT allow any NON-Microsoft
product to install ANYTHING in the %windir%, and if it insists, we simply
will not use it.

For WAMP setup, we left the libmysql.dll and libmysqli.dll in the apache/bin
dir.
