Thanks for your report. I am on the way to update the docs.
They will show up soon on the website.

I tried installing 4.3.0RC2 in CGI mode for Apache, following the
documentation at

http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.commandline.php

Result: one hour wasted. Reason: the page does not contain any hint as
to what directives need to be added to the httpd.conf to enable
processing of *.php files by the interpreter. There is a user-provided
docnote which handles this, suggesting to use something like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
ScriptAlias /php4/ "/home/king/php-4.1.2/"
Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php

Unfortunately, this is dangerously outdated: you must use
/php4/php-cgi, not /php4/php. Failing to do so results in the very
difficult to debug "Premature end of script headers" message in
server's error log. That "php-cgi" thing is mentioned NOWHERE on the
CGI installation page - I only managed to solve it through advice on
IRC.
