Wez: Your new compile routine -- which sounds nice, thanks -- seems to come just in time for me...

Platform SDK??? Ah, Google to the rescue... http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:www.microsoft.com+platform+sdk Seems http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/ is the main page for this product. Unfortunately, the website is by Microsoft. Going to that page using Mozilla with JavaScript turned off, produces a non-helpful page that just says what PSDK is, but no links to anything else. Turning JS on, then the page says "The Microsoft® Platform SDK site requires Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later" and that Active X needs to be on. Damn, I hate this freakin company! I just want to download a file! One of the links from Google goes to http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm which looks pretty promising since it's titled "Full Download with Local Install." Alas, no links to actually get the file. By going to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspx?displaylang=en and selecting "Platform SDK" from the option list produced over 400 hits and adding "2000," which is my platform, to the terms cut it down to 9, but none of the results look like what I need. Wez, can you pleaes help point me to the right place? Guess it'd be handy to have this explained in your readme file too. > Check out PHP 5 and run buildconf.bat from the root of the php > source. Looks like I'm going to need to build several versions of old php5 sources. Can I correctly assume that if I copy the new php-src/win32/build directory into the downloaded php-src/win32 directory, I'll be able to use it?
