For php 5.2, the hierarchy looks like (given that you have your
development directory in c:\php-sdk):

c:\php-sdk
  |_ php52
    |_ vc6
       |_ x86
         |_ php_build
           |_ include
           |_ lib
         |_ php-src ( cvs co -r PHP_5_2 php5)

the whole structure except the php_build directory (which is 5.2 only)
structure can be created using the phpsdk_buildtree script.

libxml is not enabled.

5.2 configure is less flexible than 5,3 and more options are necessary
by default. Please try using:

configure --enable-snapshot-build ...

add --with-php-build with the right directory if you use another
structure than the one described earlier.

or enable xml using --with-libxml
