Re: [PHP-BETA] Final 3.0.6 tarball

We have pretty much taken the position that if a package does not have any
sort of installation mechanism, then it is up to users to install these
things themselves.  I always stick libraries in /usr/local/lib and header
files in /usr/local/include.  Thus, this approach has made its way into
PHP, although the "/usr/local" part is usually configurable.  It is a very
bad idea to link against as source directory, in my opinion, and thus I
would much rather have the PHP build fail if someone hasn't installed the
library and header files somewhere appropriate than make PHP hunt around
for the files inside a source directory.
