Description:
------------
I am doing some translation for the PHP documentation, while studying. At the same time, while i was translating parts of de "Installation" chapter, i began to wonder...

Would't it be great for the PHP-team to introduce their own webserver. While translating, i found out that installing PHP is far from easy, quite divious sometimes. I can imagine what benefit the PHP-team would get with their own bundled webserver. This way not only PHP could possibly get a more stable codebase (remember al those installation-issues -- e.g. linux, unix, solaris, apache 1.x, apache 2.x, omnihttpd, xitami, caudium, openbsd, to name a few). One great webserver from you guys could give the whole community another boost! And i think not only on one specific platform (windows), but on many platforms. Even WinXP Home users would benefit from this... they don't need to download and install a third party webserver, but would be able to download PHP and a webserver in one. I am aware of the fact that there are alot of pre-configured packages, which includes PHP, MySQL and Apache or others, but it just isn't the same... Any other suggestions, tips, opinions?

This is not our ballpark. We make a scripting language and will not want to be bothered with maintaining a fully fledged webserver as we're already the excellent apache server.
