Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 alakazam@…]:
 > I'm not sure about SAPI variants though, as I think it would be more
 complicated for users to find the correct port to build (not using
 variants when they're the logical choice from the user's pov isn't ideal
 imho).

 We can discuss this later. There is still much work to do first on
 breaking the extension variants out into separate ports.

 > > We'll also need to compile php to load extra .ini files from an
 additional directory, like ${prefix}/etc/php.d, where each php extension
 port can put a pre-written .ini file which enables that module. I believe
 this is the "--with-config-file-scan-dir" configure option.

 (eaccelerator, xdebug, etc.) which currently need to be manually enabled
 and disabled when un/installed.

 Yes, I intend for the [ticket:18839 php5pecl portgroup] to handle that for
 those ports.
