See http://www.fxp.org/~jedgar/mod_php3.shar.gz for my mod_php3 port that
we use internally.  I use a modified version of dirk's configure.php
script from his apache13-php3 port to query the user for php options and
configure/compile/install as appropriate.

Personally, I would love to see a generic apache13 port and all sorts of
mod_* ports to use, esp. to testing the functionality of various modules
without having to reinstall the whole apache13-*-* ports.
