Description:
------------
As of PHP 5.1, the Windows distribution of MySQL comes with two example php.ini files: php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended.  Most of the extensions shipping with 5.1 in the 'ext' directory are listed in the ini files in the "Dynamic Extensions" section, but this list also has some outdated entries.  I've made a comparison of the actual extensions and those in the sample ini's:

Listed in the ini but no longer in 5.1:
oracle.dll

Shipping with 5.1, but not listed in the ini:
php_mysqli.dll
php_pdo.dll
php_pdo_firebird.dll
php_pdo_mssql.dll
php_pdo_mysql.dll
php_pdo_oci.dll
php_pdo_oci8.dll
php_pdo_odbc.dll
php_pdo_pgsql.dll
php_pdo_sqlite.dll
php_pspell.dll
php_soap.dll
php_xmlreader.dll

Of course it's at the developers' disgression if this is worthy of fixing, but I think it would help improve the consistency of the examples.

The listed extensions are just for example. You're required always to edit the php.ini file to match your configuration.

Fair enough, but at the very least what about php_oracle?  This dll no longer exists, surely this could be confusing for a new user?
