Apparently, I'm the exception to this:

http://www.zend.com/lists/php-dev/200503/msg00414.html
"And finally: Common users should NEVER EVER run buildconf."

What's that old saying?   Every pro started as an amatuer

I don't claim to understand the implications of the thread, nor
Sebastion's problems where, but I gotta weigh that if a stock FreeBSD
can't use it, maybe it needs fixin'...

>From what little I do understand, if I've managed to set $PHP_AUTOCONF
to point to a working autoconf, I don't think I ought to get told off
for not having it set... :-)

I'm about to try to just disable that check and move on with life --
But surely a FreeBSD user shouldn't have to do that.

The workaround implied in the thread linked above, of making
symlinks...  I'm thinking maybe "root" user can just symlink to
/usr/local/bin/autoconf and call it done.

But does every C source code developer who wants to add an extension
to PHP really need to run as "root"?

Rasmus made this look SOOOO easy in his talk :-)
