As N.S. Engelmacher says, nobody seems to care. Well, at least 
Lou Picciano pointed out the 4.3 dev version. But, come on, some 
of the PHP powers that be must be reading this. OS X v10.1 has 
been out for a year (just about) now.

At <http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=113664> is 
the press release of 25th September 2001 when Apple MacOS X 
(v10.1) and PowerMac G4 servers became available on the 
SourceForge.net Compile Farm.


"Mac OS X and SourceForge.net
Open source developers with projects on SourceForge.net have 
access to Mac OS X through SourceForge's compile farm. Project 
administrators can compile and test their projects on Apple's 
UNIX-based operating system."
<http://developer.apple.com/>

And shouldn't the OS X caveat 
<http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php> be mentioned on the 
php.net home page, download page, and (at the very least) on the 
install help page for OS X, 
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.macosx.php>.

So, maybe it's neglect, lack of interest, or perhaps something 
more sinister is afoot ? OS X *is* the most ubiquitous Unix 
around.
