mod_php has no --enable-pcntl support. I had to add it manually in my ebuild.

AFAIK pctnl is only used by the CLI version of php so it I think it is correct to have it enabled only in php and not in mod_php.
I don't think so. Look at php.net. I used it to split out a mailprocess from my mailfrontend. You're right, the main features of pcntl are used at the CLI for Multithreading, but you can use it for. I think it can be a very useful feature for big webprojects.
Ok, i've made sure it is in both now (in next CVS commit)
