We won't add this to PHP, I don't see any advantage here, we're talking about the same extension/library/functionality, only instead of using the bundled library, it uses an external one... We prefer to stick always to the included libraries, as upstream (PHP Team) only supports those, when they have them included. Best regards, CHTEKK.

What you said is still true, Luca ?
I'm wondering if we shouldn't set some USE="bundled-libs" and otherwise default to the external versions. Anyway, I'm not in favor of yet another USE-flag on php. In fact, I'm getting allergic reactions just looking at the current bulk ;) So closing this, with an option to revisit using the external version once I make up my mind about external vs bundled libraries in php.
