Hmm, that may mean that php5 is the new default? If it is, you should
send in a pr on that. It's been php4 for quite a while. I had heard
that php5 was a no-no a while back anyway. php has had a lot of
serious bugs lately.

I can't remember how long it took to do mysql. I basically hate mysql
and I was only trying it to do something that some jerk ISP wouldn't
let me do with postgres because they didn't have it. I still fail to
believe how a kludge like mysql is more widely used than something as
elegant as postgresql (vacuum notwithstanding), and the only answer I
have is GPL ignorance.

But back to the question, everything takes a long time to build on the
Qube, doesn't it? :)
