I don't know a huge amount about PHP but it appears to me that it can be built 
either standalone or as an Apache module - we had two separate recipes to 
build each alternative in OE-classic, and that split persists today - the 
standalone version is in meta-oe and I'm resurrecting the apache module 
version (modphp).

I don't think PHP belongs in OE-core - it's not something everyone needs. I'm 
willing to accept the standalone version might also belong in this layer 
though particularly if it turns into a more generic web server layer as you're 
suggesting. I'm not sure I can commit to cleaning up the standalone version 
though.

Cheers,
Paul
