Yes, unpleasant. Fortunately PHP on Linux is much friendlier in terms of
supported APIs and all that compared to it's Windows version. Also compiling PHP
with different setting and extensions should be in the basic Linux
administrator's pocket book by now :)

Correction: the C++ library is under *LGPL*, not GPL. There's a very important
difference there !

We chose LGPL over Apache basically because I wanted to send the message that we
*do* care what people do with that code - i.e. we want them to contribute back
changes. We've no intention of charging for it in any way. The code is free. But
I also wanted to have people (hopefully) improving it have to give the changes back.

I'm terribly grateful to Caucho for the work they've put into this; the
HessianCPP project is part of a larger commercial product that happens to use
Hessian for communication; having had so much value from using Resin and
Hessian, we decided to contribute this code and I hope that this particular
licensing choice will help the C++ support to better - again, by having people
who change contribute back.
