 * --with-mysql : Allows PHP to query MySQL. This is an essential feature (I think). You will need to have MySQL installed to enable this option.
 * --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 : this is required if you want to build mod_php. APXS is for configuring compilation of an Apache module. You will need to change (or omit the path) for your specific system.
 * --with-zlib : Allows PHP to read / write zipped files and send compressed data to Apache ... or something like that
 * --with-ldap : Important if you want your wiki users to be verified by LDAP
 * --with-gd : Use this if you want image processing 'within' PHP, else you can use ImageMagick. Because this option requires that you have various libraries installed... but presumably IM has the same deps... oh well...
 * --with-jpeg-dir : Seems nonsensical
 * --with-iconv-dir : Seems nonsensical
 * --enable-mbstring : Allows multibyte character string support. This is optional, as slower custom code will be used if not available.
