[arch-general] Making a PHP package with the embed SAPI

[Brendan Long]

My problem isn't creating a custom php package, the problem is creating 
one that installs to /usr but doesn't conflict with the official php 
package. I'd like to be able to install it just like you can install 
php-mcrypt and php-mysql.
