As I work on a port that requires php3 AND mysql it leads me to an
interesting dilemma.

I need to compile php3, obviously. My gut feeling says I should make
another port for php3 because there are programs other then the one I'm
porting that use php3. 

I need the mysql stuff compiled in to php3 for this port, BUT others may
not, or want OTHER modules compiled in (LDAP, SNMP, msql, sybase, etc) so
should I make a php3-mysql port and let other make php3-ldap (for example)
when they need it? I'd even make ports for all the modules, but that would
be 10+ ports. I don't mind the work, but I think that would be a bit much.

suggestions?
