avsm df1af3b82c Add in a flavor for mcrypt, an interface to block and stream
encryption algorithms.

The patches are a backport from PHP-CVS to the mcrypt m4 script, which
didn't pick up the right version of libmcrypt.  I've included the
m4 patch also, since the outputted configure script patch will make no
sense to anyone who looks at it in the future.

At the most basic level, PHP can do anything any other CGI program
can do, such as collect form data, generate dynamic page content,
or send and receive cookies.
PHP also has support for talking to other services using protocols
such as IMAP, SNMP, NNTP, POP3, or even HTTP. You can also open
raw network sockets and interact using other protocols.
PHP has a number of extra flavors available:
- gettext GNU gettext support for internationalisation
- ftp Functions to retrieve files via FTP
- imap Mail and message access functions (IMAP, POP3, NTTP)
- ldap Access to LDAP-compliant Directory Services
- mhash Hashing functions such as MD5, SHA1, etc
- mcrypt Interface to block and stream encryption algorithms
- mm Shared memory support for session storage
- recode GNU Recode support for character set conversion
- snmp Simple Network Management Protocol access functions
- gd Generate PNG or JPEG images on the fly
- pdflib Generate Adobe PDF documents dynamically
In addition, the following database flavors are supported:
gdbm, dbase, filepro, mysql, postgresql, and iodbc
If you wish to compile PHP without X, use the no_x11 flavor.
