What does that mean "older Apache"? I'm using what I think is the latest build of Apache, and it's MUCH easier to replace my apache installation than compile PHP or pecl extensions. I suspect many people who need PHP for Windows do so mostly for their development environment, then upload the code to Linux boxes for production. I can live without thread-safe extensions, I can upgrade Apache, but some extensions are critical (namely http_get). Since they've always been available with each PHP upgrade, it's never been a problem, I've always grabbed the pecl zip file the same time I grabbed the PHP zip file, and treated it as a two-step install. (if PEAR were periodically zipped up or available in svn, I would probably use it as well, as it is I find PEAR terribly difficult to use). I guess I had assumed that compiling the extensions was done in a big batch. If I had 5.3 extensions available, I'd gladly share them. (I paid for the development of php_swish.dll, and then had it added to the pecl repository,but alas, I never compiled it myself).
