Anybody using the ports tree KNOWS or *should* know he/she has to read
/usr/ports/UPDATING before using it.
In that file it is very clearly stated you should do a "make config" in
lang/php4/php5 due to recent changes!

It does when running for the first time; it also does after you've
deleted /var/db/ports/<portname>

Lat but not least: using ports implicates you are running a *complete*
and up2date portsystem (as you can verify on the freebsd website).
Obviously you're not willing to do so; hence stop complaining about
things you are doing onto yourself!

If not, people might think you are just trolling.
