Re: PHP .ini files in php.d

Hi!

Okay, I found Jaromir's announcment to this list from July. But I am 
still missing an explanation, why this change was done and why this is 
not considered harmful, especially w.r.t. to Jonathan's explanation. But 
mostly I would like to know how my users now can prevent PHP from 
loading all available modules and load only those they need.
