Yes, but you're ignoring the fact that the original build setup wasn't laid 
out this way.

Normally I'd agree with you, but that particular code hasn't been touched in 
5 years and isn't ever going to be touched again.

... which is what most people with an existing setup will have done, 
particularly if they have a history of working with the old .dsp files. It's 
quite likely most of those people don't even realize the phpbuild bindlib 
files exist, much less that they're overriding any bindlib_w32 build that 
happens to be lying around.
