I gathered that from looking at the description/code

--with-sysvshm

This is a point that it should be clear in the documentation. From the
point of view of a user, having them in different places could be
confusing, even though it makes sense from the point of view of
development and code.

I will add sentences clarifying this difference in both XML files, but
still think that we could merge them into one module or perhaps rename
the new shm_* functions. The naming of the functions is what will
generate confusion, because if I were just using PHP, (not looking at
the code, etc.) I will not expect to have two different modules with
the similar naming conventions.

Will CC them too about this topic. Tnxs for the info.
