I'd like to see some php4-modconf tool analogical to the apache-modconf. I've 
prepared this utility for unofficial php5 packages.

# php5-modconf
Error: /usr/sbin/php5-modconf has been called with invalid parameters
Usage: /usr/sbin/php5-modconf apache|apache2|cgi|cli|fcgi [enable 
<module_name>] [quiet]
       /usr/sbin/php5-modconf apache|apache2|cgi|cli|fcgi [disable 
<module_name>] [quiet]
       /usr/sbin/php5-modconf apache|apache2|cgi|cli|fcgi [query 
<module_name>]
       /usr/sbin/php5-modconf apache|apache2|cgi|cli|fcgi [list]

...so it is very easy to use in postinst/postrm scripts.
