Rob is almost done too. The main patch you need is relatively easy,
dirent support. Aspell and some other need it too. To help to use the
same code base, I have uploaded src&bins of a BSD'ish dirent
implementation:

http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/dirent*
http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/source/dirent-20080613-source.zip

In the rest of the list (http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/libs),
here is a little status list:

* Finished and to be tested or being tested:

- Berkley DB is almost done too, we provide different versions as well
as different extension depending on the DB version (latest 3.x, 4.3
and latest 4.7.x). Oracle, Marcus and I (only building/testing for me
for now ;) are working to fix a couple of issues in the code.

- Postgresql (libpq) is finished and being tested. 7.3.21 is used for
VC6 and the latest 8.x for 2k5+

- ucd-snmp is finished, not tested yet (why it is not uploaded)

- libmhash, as we droped it in 5.3+, I feel like using the old one we
had until now is good enough for 5.2.x



* Work in progress:

- ibgmp is in progress (Alessandro works on it, we also try to get the
asm versions working on VC compilers)
- aspell (as well as other like enchant's backend) are being done,
working with the authors to fix windows specific issues

- ibase/firebird in progress, as you can read on internals.

- freetds, to be done (Frank has volunteered but waiting)

- sybase_ct, to be done (working with Timm/1und1 Germany to get tests platforms)

* May not be necessary:

- fbase, likely to be moved to pecl unless Frank can take of it again
or if Frontbase is willing to help (no answer yet from them)

- sybase, to be moved to PECL


Cheers,
