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

[Brendan Long]

I'm hoping there's a way to package it separately. I want to install
to /usr, but depending on how big the embed SAPI is, I don't know if it
would be worthwhile for most users to to make everyone have to install
it (since the only program I know of that uses it is phc).
