FreeBSD Port: mod_php4-4.3.3.r1,1

[thomas peter]

hi alex,
i use mod_php4 to run typo3 (a content-management) on a freebsd 4.6
machine.
btw: thanx for the port-maintnance!
typo3 needs a wired arrangement of libs (gd 1.8, freetype 1, ...)
i found out, that i can create a Makefile.in in /usr/ports/www/mod_php4
to apply my changes to the compilation.
whenever a new php-port was released,  i made a make in the mod_php4
dir. after fetching, unpacking and filling the
ncurses-like-unserinterface i interrupted the process and copied my
custom Makefile.in into /usr/ports/www/mod_php4.

my old Makefile.in looked like:
...
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-mysql=${LOCALBASE}
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-ttf=/usr/local/lib
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-gd=/root/typo3_libs/gd-1.8.3_lzw-patched
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-openssl
...

with the 4.3.2 release of mod_php4 this doesn't work anymore.
the new syntax of this file is:
...
WITH_BZIP2=yes
WITH_CTYPE=yes
WITH_GD=yes
...

my question now is:
-is there a better way then my 'copy-custom-Makefile.in-file'?
-if not, how can i apply parameters to the configure-script now?

thank you very much in advance.

greetings from germany,
thomas
