I hope not. :-)

It still subjective. :-) Besides, I would venture the negative
experiences were based on the fact they never updated so people were
having "headache causing" issues. Based on what I seen so far, compiling
via current method is like pulling teeth. :-)

Sure, so the more automation "out the box" the better. Anyway, IMV,
you will never let go the need to support smart frontends.

Well, I don't see why not. You can do the same thing via project files
- see the "Custom Build", "Pre-Link", "Post-Build" tabs. In fact, I am
going to prove it when I can the chance. (BTW, I program almost
exclusively under a console, so its not "windows-users" thing.)

I have started this and my first test of instructions and new batch
files was perfect for php 5.2.5, however re-running it for PHP 5.2.6
errored out on an unresolved link for:
xmlXPathCompiledEvalToBoolean
Removing this from the release_ts\php5ts.dll.def allowed it to
successfully link.
I have not deeply stupid why yet, but I did noticed in the Changelog
comments related to this function:
