great ... have quickly unpacked the tool, but from what is in the
ext directory it is not clear to me how this is best to build ...
also, I guess php wants all the extensions installed into the
'main tree' or is there a sensible way to have the shared object in
the rrdtool install tree and add it to the php module search path ?
for the other bindings we offer a configure switch that lets the
user decide where the so should go to ...

cheers
