The missing DLLs are now available[1].  There is also a post about that
issue on the windows.php.net homepage[2].  I think is likely the best
course of action, since offering a php-8.0.0beta1-1 would be confusing
for those not needing either of the DLLs, which are likely the majority
of beta testers.

Happy testing!

Thanks again for having reported the issue,
Christoph
