A good way to start is by dropping a small PHP file in your Apache docs tree,
containing this:

    <? phpinfo (); ?>

then pull that up in a browser. Right at the top you'll find all the option
switches that that version of PHP was compiled with. That'll giving you an
insight into how it was built. In general, you could probably pretty much
copy all those switches, substituting the stuff you want to replace, such as
the updated curl, MySQL, OpenSSL, etc.

    ./configure --help

is always fun, too. There's a pile of stuff you might want to
include/exclude, depending on how you're using PHP.
