lang/php5 port present no options within sysinstall

[Balin Hansen]

I figured out that doing "make config" in /usr/ports/lang/php5 would bring
up the screen the handbook was referring to. I'm guessing perhaps that
somehow sysinstall sets that configuration for me automatically. eg: when I
install apache web server I would assume that sysinstally would set the
option to build mod_php. I was given the impression that I had to build
apache and php5 from source which is something I'd be willing to do but like
I was hinting at in my previous message I remember a time when sysinstall
would just sort of do it all for me. Then again, I think that might have
been through some apache+mod_php type package available in a previous
versions.
