Sorry, it *is* broken for everyone.  The current version of PHP4 expects
modules in /usr/lib/php4/20050606/, and packages using this interface need
to depend on phpapi-20050606.  You should be using php-config4
--extension-dir and php-config4 --phpapi respectively to determine these
values, as the #defines PHP upstream provides in their headers for this are
complete crap.
