Sorry that doesn't work, just in case i tried erasing anything related
to Apache, PHP and Perl on my home system. It seems by default, if PHP
can't find a php.ini it sets all defaults to c:\windows instead of
setting them to the current application run path.

I think my next step will be to check if i can recompile PHP manually
for windows and change the code in it to reflect what i need in terms of
defaults... Like using the application start path and stuff like that to
load extensions and more.

Does that look like a good idea?
