Is that all that is required?  If so, I'll do this.

Hmm.

Here's the postinstall script:

#!/bin/sh
module=php4
module_dll=libphp4.dll
prefix=/usr
confdir=/etc
libdir=${prefix}/lib/apache
rebase_dlls="${libdir}/${module_dll} ${prefix}/bin/cygbz21.0.dll ${prefix}/bin/cygcrypto.dll ${prefix}/bin/cygintl-1.dll ${prefix}/bin/pq.dll ${prefix}/bin/cygxml2-2.dll ${prefix}/bin/cygz.dll"
cd ${libdir}/new
${prefix}/sbin/apxs -i -a -n ${module} ${module_dll}
${libdir}/new/rebase -d -b 0x68000000 -o 0x10000 ${rebase_dlls}
rm -f ${libdir}/new/${module_dll}

Is just removing the dlls adequate?  Or should I change the rebase to
/bin/rebase and have mod_php4 depend on rebase?

I remember now.  I started to do this the first time this came up and
got bogged down here.  And, never sent email asking this question, of
course.

So tell me what to do and I'll fix this.
