  What say you fellow Cookers?
 
 It's a tough call. On one hand, it's nice to only have to update a
 single package if that extension was updated. On the other hand, if we
 get these version mismatches all the time, then it's more of a pain.
 
 If it is reasonable to keep them separate, that would be my preference.
 But I am not the poor soul who has to keep these in order :)

Please forgive whatever I was smoking when I wrote this last week. This
is a maintenance nightmare for poor Oden, et al. These generates files
are mostly a few k in size, so who cares if a fix in one requires to
build them all.

Please do yourself a favor and merge them.

No, I think it was me who must have smoked something or ate something out of 
the ordinary when I wrote my post...

As someone else pointed out, with the current setup it's easy to rebuild the 
extensions whenever we have a new lib availible. For example if libxmlrpc is 
updated, just rebuild php-xmlrpc. I'm not going to maintain these forever, as 
my work is done. The splits and breakouts are done now, I just hope something 
didn't break in this process. The only thing that's left is to try and 
breakout openssl and pcre, but I wasn't able to last time I tried...

My goal was to have a php-snmp package, but I got sort of carried away and 
did some others too :-)

Chears.
