Hey. You should consider making clear the difference between dev-php/php and 
dev-php/mod_php in the descriptions of each package, for users who don't 
realise what the difference is. Here is the current output:

*  dev-php/mod_php
      Latest version Available: 4.2.2
      Latest version Installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Homepage: http://www.php.net/
      Description: HTML embedded scripting language

*  dev-php/php
      Latest version Available: 4.2.2
      Latest version Installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Homepage: http://www.php.net/
      Description: HTML embedded scripting language

Just my thoughts. =)

php-4.2.2.ebuild

i wouldnt suggest releasing as php-4.2.2-r1.ebuild since the only thing to
change is the DESCRIPTION var :)
