This patch overlaps with some changes I did on my way home from
ApacheCon. I haven't committed them yet, but here's a summary:

1. Using --datadir to determine where PEAR PHP files go. With
   --datadir=/usr/share or --datadir=/usr/share/php, PHP architecture
   independent files go to /usr/share/php, and PEAR's PHP files go to
   /usr/share/php/pear.

   I've added your --with-pear option to override this.

2. Using --libdir to determine where extensions go. With
   --libdir=/usr/lib or --libdir=/usr/lib/php, extensions are
   installed in /usr/lib/php/<APIVER>. I've also shortened the
   <APIVER> part so "no-debug" and "non-zts" are skipped. The
   alternatives are now "20001222", "20001222-zts", "20001222-debug"
   and "20001222-zts-debug".

3. Using --sysconfdir to determine php.ini path. The default is now
   $prefix/etc.

4. The CGI version of PHP is always built and installed.

Let me know if you have any problems with these changes. They should
make it a lot easier for distributions to build PHP, because we
conform more to de-facto build conventions (at least on Linux). Also
you won't have to re-run configure and make to build the CGI in order
to run tests, the PEAR installer etc.
