>Description:
When one builds php5, it is completely unclear where to find extensions, given
that they mostly do not live in lang/.
>How-To-Repeat:
Be a php5 newbie.
>Fix:
Proposed additional paragraph for lang/php5/pkg-descr:

Extensions to php5 are found in other parts of the ports hierarchy, always
with the directory name "php5'*". For example, the bz2 extension is found in
archivers/php5-bz2. Also see lang/php5-extensions for a common set of
extensions.
