Hi Gustavo.  Thanks for your advice.  I truly appreciate it.

I looked more closely at the php source I downloaded and it apparently 
contains all kinds of DSP files.  I downloaded it from here:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.3.3-src.zip

Interestingly, there are THREE different DSP files in the AMFEXT 
repository trunk:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/amfext/trunk/
And there is no DSP for PHP itself.  Nor is one built when I do
buildconf --add-project-files

I managed to open one or two of these dsp project files and build it.  
This failed at first because it was looking for php5ts_debug.lib.  I had 
to rebuild PHP with --enable-debug to get this file and I had to 
..\..\Debut_TS to my Additional Library Dependencies.

Perhaps you could give me a little more detail about how to get this 
rolling?  At the moment, I'm trying to set up a BAT file to execute my 
newly compiled PHP via command line which first pauses.  Unfortunately, 
the debug version of PHP I've built is giving me "LIBPQD.dll not found".
