This way you could eliminate apache as a dependancy.
	Hmm, I think discussing which language is better to use will be
	more of a religous discussion than any other.  No offense, but
	whatever PHP can achieve, it can also be achieved by Perl,
	Python, Ruby and whatever else is out there; heck, even C++. :-)
	Let us just stick with the PHP4 + thttpd/Apache combination.
	My basic reason for supporting it is because it is something
	different and radical from what other BSDs are doing.
	Please, do not make a bikeshed out of this followup; it is
	merely my summary of the ``new sysinstall'' discussion. :-)
	Regards,
