Is there any initiative out there aiming to rewrite PHP
extensions in pure PHP ? For example, MySQL driver in
pure PHP or LDAP extension in pure PHP ?

With Java and, as far as I know, Perl, one can extend the
language capabilities without having access to any command
like gcc, g++, cc or c++ on a system.

That way applications could be written without need to bother
system administrator to install additional packages. All additional
functionality is avaliable with "include" command.
