Having the fedora version of php not shipping with default extensions is 
really going to create a lot of pain.  Its was added to php so that 
there would always be a database that scripts could rely on without any 
installation.  I realize that the sqlite guys aren't making things easy 
releasing fully incompatible version of things.  But if someway can be 
found to ship fedoras php with all the default php extensions it will 
really reduce the pain of anyone who has to support php on fedora.
