Nuno is rewriting the install part.

Description:
------------
the install.txt doc in the windows binaries distros seem to cover
several versions of php and seem to be contridictory.
first the file warns that you should not use the sapi modules, then
later you are told that the sapi modules are stable and that you should
not use the cgi file ("to do so is suicide") perhaps the wording needs
to be retooled, but is is confusing as it is.
Reproduce code:
---------------
please note that the SAPI modules are *NOT* yet considered to be
production quality.
The reason for this is that the PHP SAPI modules are using the
thread-safe version of the PHP code, which is new to PHP 4, and has not
yet been tested and pounded enough to be considered completely
stable,.....
Now that version 4.1 introduces a safer sapi module, we recommend that
you configure PHP as a module in Apache....
If you wish to install PHP as a CGI binary, read this first:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1996-11.html
and then if you are really sure, insert these lines to your conf file:
ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
Note, we consider installing PHP like this suicidal.
Expected result:
----------------
I would hope for a straight forward install doc specific for the
version its packaged with, not an entire history.
