The only thing I was really missing here (unless I managed to
miss it in the text only) is different PHP versions.
A binary built for PHP 4.0 wouldn't work with PHP 4.3 for
example due to interface changes (bad example because not
only the API changed but also some internals afaik;
neverthless).
I don't know if it's a good idea to show the version of PHP
the binary was compiled against, but somehow it needs to be
known if the binary is compatible at all.
For example mod_ssl [1] always includes the version number of
the Apache server it works with:
21-Mar-2003: Released 2.8.14-1.3.27: Important bugfixes.
So, with a quick look on the filename you know if it's
compiled against your PHP version or not.
