	From the "3-D" dos-style window that appears during php4 and
	mod_php4, both have mysql as defalt extensions.  (postgresql7
	is not a default, so I added it.)

	I'd like to have at least a few opensrc BBS/message board
	suites available for FBSD.  phpbb and phorum are two I've
	tried.  After a week of mis-tries (last May) I finally 
	got phpbb-2.0.4 working.  phpbb died inexplicably when I
	upgraded a week ago.  The trouble with phorum is that my
	browser display goes white after only the first two or three
	installation steps.  

	Can you send me a tarball of your port off-list?

	gary
