I don't see how this actually matters. None of the other SAPIs are 
configured with a php.ini syntax. That includes IIS, Apache, Lighttpd 
and others. This is more of a webserver thing than a "PHP thing" so I 
don't see how it is relevant to require php.ini syntax if this XML 
configure file works just fine already. I mean, it'd be *nice* to have a 
non-XML syntax, but for me this is definitely not a requirement for FPM 
to be added to trunk. If you (or somebody else) wants a php.ini syntax 
for it, a patch can be written. It's Open Source after all.

with kind regards,
