Like I said, some of the stuff (like PDO, which I've already used  
alongside the default install) is available as '.so' modules that can  
be dynamically loaded. Some of it however isn't, and must be compiled  
in at compile time. Typically it's usually this stuff that's compiled  
into binary distributions, but it's not set to compile in the NetBSD  
pkgsrc version.

Also, I will cry if I have to manually compile all the extensions  
manually one at a time, it'll take me a short ice age to do :(
