The first question is what is the embedded platform? (Windows, linux, etc.?)

If you are loading the php module for apache, you either have already
compiled the php source, or do not need to unless you need additional
features.

How do you plan on accessing the files? (which functions, etc.)

I'm betting that you'd be spending most of your time deciding which
extensions to *disable* rather than enable.
