Apache and PHP build.  You have to pretty much follow the build
directions for linking php into apache statically since we don't have
dl.  Most software for the Atari needs to be configured with something
like LIBS="-lsocket" ./configure since our socket functions are not a
part of our c library which is not standard (as far as linux is
concerned, it might be a bsd/real unix standard) and most software can't
figure it out properly.  Anyway, I'm sure Keith will be happy to provide
config strings and such.  Shouldn't require too much patching.

Thanks,
Mark
