	Not necessary for DL, I would like to add apache for my own use so I
can add microCode. Which is a PHP source encrypt/decrypter. I'll need
this for another project to protect the PHP source from being copied
from the CD.

	As of now, boa or thttpd are both excellent choices.. I suggest since
thttpd is already in, lets use it instead.

	A standard compile turns the PHP CLI file size to be about 3Megs. I
don't know if that is stripped or not.  But there are plenty of features
and functions that can be disabled. I've figured that I can get the file
size down to be about 1 to 1.5 Megs in size.

	This is what I was aiming for. Plus I don't think PHP3 has support for
the standalone CGI interface (PHP CLI, I believe that was introduced in
PHP4)
