I always recompile PHP when I need a new module, but searching the
mailling list archives I found the following post by Rasmus that says
dl() in *nix is possible. Well, if Rasmus says it can be done, he is
propably true:-)

Exactly. When you do ./configure --with-foo=shared; make
then modules/foo.so will appear magically and you can dl() that or load
it
using "extension=foo.so" in your php.ini. You don't have to recompile
PHP.
