Description:
------------
i noticed when up-zipping the php 5.0 zip file that the directory structure was different than that of the previous releases (eg 4.3.8)

in 4.3.8 the directory structure for extensions, dlls and sapi has changed. in 4.3.8 it is as follows:

{root}/extensions
{root}/dlls
{root}/sapi


but the 5.0 directory structure for extensions is now:

{root}/ext

all the sapi dlls are now placed in the {root} of the zip file, no "sapi" folder.

all the "normall" dlls (eg libmysql.dll) are also placed in the {root} folder, no "dlls" folder.

it seems messy to have the above files in the {root} directory and i would have thought it might be good to have the same directory structure between php releases.

any ideas why this has changed between 4.3.8 and 5.0?

thanks

zac barton
