Not a lot--except for the royal pain in the ass? PHP module really is
far more involving that it needs to be. Writing the code is easy,
provided that you know C. Getting the code to compile is hard, because
of all the cross dependency and funky macro. If someone would only make
the effort to make a better interface... Anyway, I'm way off topic.
