	Hello Ryan! First off I would like to point out I don't offer a proper 
response to your question, I have no idea what MacPorts is doing 
differently to get PHP 5.1.5 building, I've not looked into the issue.

	But I couldn't help replying to a message that seems to "complain", 
contrary to most of the ones we get on this list, about why thinks 
*work* ;-) I don't know if you meant it as a compliment to the project, 
but it pretty much sounded like one to me! "Why does 'sudo port install 
php5' have no difficulty installing php 5.1.5"? I could easily reply 
"well, it *is* MacPorts ;-) what you expected?"

	I might even post that somewhere, hehehe. Thanks for "sweet" words ;-)
