Hi Bob,

Yeah 'Windows already does this' because the build system forces it. I think 
it does the same in the PHP build system though, it's not automatically 
linked. (I _think_ - it's been well over a year since I looked into this.)

It's probably better to go with fixing doze than *nix, assuming I'm right 
about it not being related under doze. Then (assuming it works and that 
wasn't why I did what I did in the first place) we need to change all the 
main source files apart from php_gtk.c, which is actually the only correct 
one.

If it doesn't work, there's another option that doesn't touch on either 
build system. But I think it'd be cleaner to fix doze.
