Ugh. Well that's not the reason for the modules failing, as I said I
tried adding /usr/lib/apache to $PATH with no change. However, if the
CLI binary is linked against cygphp4.dll then it needs to be in the
path, that I agree with.

I guess I need to look at the build again because I don't see the
mod_php4.dll / cygphp4.dll division occuring - it's all in cygphp4.dll.

Well that does bring up an interesting point. If the apache-mod_php4
package contains cygphp4.dll then the php4-cli package would require
apache-mod_php4 as well as apache. I.e. there'd be no way to just run
the CLI php without apache and the module. Arg. So am I going to need
an additional "php4-common" that's brought in by both "php4-cli" and
"apache-mod_php4" so that they don't require each other? *goes to check
how Debian does it*
