>Description:
	The www/ap-php3 package 'is next to useless'.
	Problems include:
 	 . cgi-bin/php is created as a soft-link, that apache will
	   reject for security reasons.
 	 . the mod_php3.so module is dependent on the dynamic library of
	   libgdbm.so, that is unavailable in httpd's own LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
	   (copying gdbm.so to /usr/lib/ is a less-than-ideal workaround)
	 . no information is given/appended for the necessary modifications
	   to httpd.conf to enable php.
	 . and doubtless others... (that I know are out there, because after 4
	   hours of 'this refuses to work the way all the documentation
	   says it should', I still can't get the thing going..)
