But what if I want to add ming or curl or ftp or dom? Could I do the
equivalent of this with yum:

../configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysqli=/
usr/bin/mysql_config --prefix=/usr/local/php521 --with-gd --with-zlib-
dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --
with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf --with-curl --with-dom --
with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql821 --enable-ftp --with-ming
