Argh so simple.  Time to read the make manpages properly this time...

I was fearing this.  I'd managed to actually achieve the goal on my
personal server, but when I went to attempt it on a soon-to-be
production server it wasn't playing at all.

I think what had happened was that I'd left mod_php4 4.3.1 installed
(prior to the 4.3.2 port major overhaul), and then went on to install
the 4.3.2 CLI afterwards, but confusion abound... I only found out about
this when I ran 'make deinstall' in /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 and was told
that the MD5 checksums failed on a variety of files, presumably from the
4.3.1 install.

Ok I'll consider installing from the source then or hacking away at a
package.

Much appreciated,
Jez
