Description:
------------
using

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php"
extension = "../pgsql.so"

makes php search for pgsql.so in /usr/local/lib. It would be nice if 
php allows absolute paths for extension loading:

extension = /usr/local/lib/pgsql.so

as specifing it relative to the extension_dir is quite strange and 
probably makes extension_dir useless. specifing absolute paths with 
dl() may result in a security problem, but using it in php.ini may 
be ok.

it works for me with 5.3.6:
extension /usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo.so
correctly loads the pdo extension from the absolute path.
