I am the maintainer of php5.

What prompted you to make these changes to the portfile? Did you  
encounter error messages? What were they, and what were you doing  
when they occurred?

The documentation on the php web site to which you refer says "To  
build the c-client library with SSL or/and Kerberos support read the  
docs supplied with the package" and "Depending how the c-client was  
configured, you might also need to add --with-imap-ssl=/path/to/ 
openssl/ and/or --with-kerberos=/path/to/kerberos into the PHP  
configure line."

I see that the cclient port does depend on kerberos5, if  
libgssapi_krb5 does not already exist. On my 10.4.9 system,  
libgssapi_krb5 already exists in /usr/lib so that gets used. Should  
cclient always depend on the kerberos5 port instead, or is there a  
compelling reason to use the Mac OS X-provided version? (Paul?)

I don't use c-client or kerberos5 nor really even know what they do.  
Um... I see that c-client is for accessing mailboxes. I don't do that  
in my php code. Since I prefer not to have lots of ports installed  
whose features I don't need, I'm inclined to make a cclient variant  
of php5. Anyone opposed?
