Couldn't we take a page from MySQL's book and have a setup script that
prompts the admin for this (much like theirs prompts for a root password).
A reminder to run it could be added as a nag at the end of the install;
or, perhaps even have it give you these setup prompts at the end of make
install. This way, any environment-specific settings we think should be
there that don't have obvious defaults, like date.timezone, could be added
as prompts in the setup script. This would enable even inexperienced
admins to add these settings without cluttering-up the bugs tracker.
An estimate of >90% of our users who are actually installing PHP
themselves are using distribution packages of PHP and not our sources.
They expect `[yum|apt-get|...] install php` to be the whole installation
process.
Yet it's not uncommon for yum/apt-get/whatever to ask for input (like
mentioned MySQL asking for root password).
