+  There has been a big update to PHP ports and bsd.php.mk to add more
+  flexibility and new features.
+  Now a port may depend on a specific set of PHP extensions.  To do so,
+  simply replace:
+
+  USE_PHP=	yes
+
+  with:
+
+  USE_PHP=	ext1 ext2 ext3 ...
+
+  in the port Makefile. A list of all PHP extensions is included in bsd.php.mk.
+  If the requirement is a build dependency, too, the port should also define:
+
+  USE_PHP_BUILD=yes
+
+  Moreover, the new knob WANT_PHP_SCR has been added to indicate that the port
+  requires the 'php' binary to run.
+  Last but not list, many common operations done to build/install/register a
+  PHP extension can now be omitted from the port Makefile, if it defines:
+
+  USE_PHPEXT=	yes
+
+  For more information on this point and on additional variables, give a look
+  at bsd.php.mk.
