Re: Header files for the Windows packages

Hi,

I am well aware of that wiki page since it is what i followed to build PHP 
in order to get my own header files. However, it doesn't explain how one is 
supposed to build a dynamic library extension for Windows without building 
the PHP source code.

May i know the reasons why, or a pointer to a discussion that explains it? I 
haven't been able to find it.
I am also wondering why a library file is being distributed in the "dev" 
directory, but not the header files that go with it.

Are the reasons it won't be happening soon a design problem or only 
practical? Because in the latter case, i did provide a command that seems 
quite close to taking care of that - and, although my knowledge of the PHP 
tree is very basic, i would be glad to help in integrating that command in 
the production of the distro.
