the php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended files are missing extensions (version 4.1.2 and 4.2.0RC1)

;extension=php_curl.dll , etc.

there also is no mention of the UNIX style extansions

;extension=curl.so 

RedHat has generally patched the php.ini to do this.  At least for me, this makes managing a server farm _much_ easier.

these can easily be generated thus:
[chrismcc@philippe ext]$ for EXT in $(ls|grep -v 'ext_skel\|Makefile.in') ; do echo ";extension=${EXT}.so" ;done
;extension=aspell.so
;extension=bcmath.so
;extension=bz2.so
;extension=calendar.so
;extension=ccvs.so
;extension=com.so
;extension=cpdf.so
;extension=crack.so

and
[chrismcc@philippe ext]$ for EXT in $(ls|grep -v 'ext_skel\|Makefile.in') ; do echo ";extension=php_${EXT}.dll" ;done
;extension=php_aspell.dll
;extension=php_bcmath.dll
;extension=php_bz2.dll
;extension=php_calendar.dll
;extension=php_ccvs.dll
;extension=php_com.dll
;extension=php_cpdf.dll
;extension=php_crack.dll

Is there a way to upload patches?
